My clients are mostly adults in individual and couples therapy who are navigating the stressors of relationships, adulthood, life transitions, communication, dating, anxiety, and attachment. You may be someone who is struggling to live in the uncertainty that life often brings, or maybe you're navigating boundaries in your relationships - all things that bring about anxiety and fear for many people. Despite what it may be, I am here to support you and talk through it with you. I can offer support in areas of anxiety, depression, grief, family/relationship/dating challenges, identity formation, sexuality, and personal growth.

Note: I am actively accepting new clients. The first time I sought out a therapist I was feeling overwhelmed and confused. I was afraid to trust a stranger with my most vulnerable feelings. I found a caring, empathetic therapist who earned my trust and helped me in my struggles. As a therapist, I aim to hold a compassionate, caring space and give you safety to explore the hard things in your life, with wise guidance to find new ways to handle the stressors in your past and present. I want you to find resolution, a sense of hopefulness, improved self-confidence, and healthy, productive relationships.

I believe that the client-therapist relationship is foundational to the success of your treatment and I take your overall satisfaction seriously. I work with adults and children as a solution-focused therapist. I also work with chronic pain, reproductive health, and women's health, and infertility. I also focus heavily on the parent-child relationship and family systems work. I have training in many parenting and discipline practices that have effectively helped manage challenging behaviors as well as address parenting snafus. I am also interested in and helping people explore human sexuality and relationships.

You can rely on me to show up to counseling with a team approach- we are in it together to find solutions for the challenges you are facing. Often, when people are in the middle of a difficult time, they lose sight of their own strengths and resources. You can rely on me to help you find these and develop ways to put them to use to feel better. Commonly, people set out to solve a problem only to have the solution, over time, turn out to be unhelpful or even unhealthy. You will find me ready to address the here-and-now as well as the original issues so you can find your way back to a place where you have real, usable solutions.

Sometimes getting assistance is the difference between lasting change, or staying stuck in an increasingly devastating cycle. Depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, stress and conflict are just a few things that can be overwhelming and make life and relationships difficult to manage. Most people find themselves in this position at some point in their lives, and having the right person to navigate you through is invaluable. Luke will evaluate your situation and customize a treatment plan addressing your unique needs and goals. We specialize in treating individuals and couples.

Life can sometimes place so many obstacles you are not sure what to do or how to handle them. Then past issues get in the way of your ability to move on with things in your life and make it difficult to handle daily challenges. If you are interested in moving past your past and finding new ways of coping, then give me a call. I am a conscientious, caring therapist with over twenty-four years of experience offering advice, support, rehabilitation, and non-judgmental guidance to clients who have experienced trauma and hardship. Serving adolescents, adults and seniors.

***NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS****I am passionate about people leading empowered, connected, and purposeful lives. I provide counseling services to diverse clients as they learn, change, grow, and function in increasingly inspired, creative, healthy and adaptive ways. I work collaboratively with clients in identifying needs, making changes, and practicing new skills in a safe and supportive setting. I am experienced in working with adults, couples, families, as well as adolescent clients, on issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger, identity, and unwanted thoughts or emotions.

Teletherapy for now (both locations), and Oregon residents only at this time. Do you feel like you have more than you can handle right now? Sometimes it feels like no one can possibly understand what's going on, and we just need someone to hear us. Being able to process concerns in a safe and neutral place is paramount. I believe compassion and attunement is vital in relationships as well as in the therapeutic relationship. It's helpful to explore and gain understanding of past and present experiences, behaviors, hurts, and wounds. While change can be difficult it can also be deeply rewarding.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed out, or sad? At the end of the day, do you wish you had a switch to turn your brain off? Are you easily irritated, snapping at loved ones and co-workers? These are just some of the symptoms of depression and anxiety. The good news is that that counseling can be very helpful in reducing these symptoms and getting you back to the person you want to be.
