More about Luke

  • 16 years' experience
  • Non-binary
  • LCPC

I offer a warm, collaborative space for reflection, understanding, and change. My approach draws from Narrative and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) practices, grounded in curiosity, empathy, and respect for each person’s unique story.

I work with adults and older adolescents on relationships, gender, sexuality, and life transitions, and welcome people from diverse cultural backgrounds and identities. With experience across community, university, and private settings, I aim to support clients in developing clarity, self-awareness, and practical ways of moving toward what matters most to them.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
