Luke sees clients Virtually.

(He/Him)

“In our work together, I’ll invite you to be honest, to be human, and to take small risks toward something better.”

Every life tells a story—and sometimes, we reach a chapter we don’t know how to write.

Maybe the plot has taken a sudden turn through grief or betrayal. Maybe you and your

partner can’t seem to get on the same page anymore. Maybe the roles you’ve been

playing in your family aren’t working, and you’re ready to rewrite the script. My job is to

step into that space with you, slow things down, and help you figure out what comes

next.

I work systemically, collaboratively, and with a deep care for my clients’ lived

experiences. Therapy with me often includes laughter, some direct feedback, and a lot

of curiosity. I draw primarily from Emotionally Focused Therapy, Structural Family

Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy—lenses that help us zoom in on the patterns,

relationships, and values that shape your day-to-day life. Whether we’re exploring how

you and your partner repair after conflict, or navigating parenting choices that have you

frustrated, my goal is to help you connect, not correct.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families (kids included!) who are

navigating complex transitions or stuck places. These might include co-parenting

challenges, infidelity, divorce and separation, grief, religious trauma, discernment work,

questions of sexuality or gender, or even that vague but very real sense of “Who am I

anymore?” I’m also drawn to working with folks exploring existential crisis,

deconstruction from religious systems, men’s mental health, neurodivergence, and sex

and intimacy concerns. I’m LGBTQ+ affirming and welcoming to clients from all

backgrounds and belief systems.

In our work together, I’ll invite you to be honest, to be human, and to take small risks

toward something better. You deserve a therapist who can meet you where you’re at

and walk alongside you as the next part of your story unfolds.

I’m currently completing my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy at Capella

University, under the supervision of Carly Novoselsky, LCPC, CADC.
