Taking the first step toward therapy can feel vulnerable, and Luke aims to offer a space that feels welcoming, supportive, and grounded from the start. He works with individuals, including adults, teens, and children, and tailors his approach to meet each person where they are. Luke specializes in co-occurring substance use and mental health concerns and has extensive experience working with anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, and relationship difficulties.

His style is collaborative and supportive. Luke believes therapy should feel like a safe and steady space where individuals can slow down, be themselves, and begin to better understand what has been weighing on them. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward, and his goal is to help clients gain clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of direction.

Luke uses an integrative approach that blends psychodynamic and emotion-focused work with practical tools from CBT. This allows for addressing both what clients are experiencing in the present and the deeper patterns that may be shaping those experiences. Therapy is always tailored to the individual and what feels most helpful in the moment. For children, he also incorporates play therapy as a developmentally appropriate way to help them express emotions, build regulation skills, and feel understood.

Luke holds a Master of Social Work from Fordham University and a Bachelor of Social Work from George Mason University. He believes therapy is a partnership built on trust, honesty, and connection. For those seeking a therapist who is genuine, thoughtful, and invested in their growth, Luke would be honored to provide support.
