Hey there! My name is Luke, and I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy with a person-centered approach, encompassing a focus on individuals struggling with addiction. Holding a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Memphis, I am dedicated to supporting clients on their journey toward self-discovery and healing. I strongly believe in understanding each client as a unique individual, which allows me to tailor my therapeutic techniques to meet their specific needs. I would be honored to hold space for your emotions and struggles, and know that reaching out for help is the biggest step of all.
As a nationally certified counselor through the NBCC, I utilize evidence-based practices to help clients navigate their challenges. My skill-set enables me to address negative thought patterns and behaviors, empowering clients to develop healthier coping strategies. I also hold a LADAC (Level 2) in the state of Tennessee.
I am passionate about advocating for mental health awareness, particularly regarding addiction. I understand the complexities of substance use disorders and work diligently to create a judgement-free space for individuals seeking recovery. By combining empathy with practical strategies, I guide clients toward lasting change and an improved well-being.
