Great to meet you!

Hi there! I'm Luke, and I specialize in supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples, with stressors such as anxiety, relationship conflict, depression, and sexuality. I utilize a trauma-informed lens, am competent in addressing non-monogamy and polyamory, and am kink and sex worker positive. I am licensed in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Texas. I own and operate Radiant Waves Counseling, a queer and trans affirming practice.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I offer a safe, welcoming space for queer, trans, and non-binary individuals. My approach is trauma-informed and client-centered. I use elements of CBT to help clients shift negative thoughts and feelings, into healthier, more effective and sustainable behaviors. I also rely on my own neurodivergent and queer lived experiences.

What you can expect from our first session

I know how important it is to feel seen and understood. Navigating identity, prioritizing wellbeing, and processing the complexities of this world are paramount. My goal at the end of the day is to make you feel empowered, validated, and motivated. Each session is a safe space and should be a place where you feel comfortable speaking your mind. You are the pilot, the one who creates the change you need. I'm here to guide and motivate you along the way. I look forward to getting to know you.
