Hi, I'm Luke. I work with burned-out professionals, neurodivergent adults, LGBTQIA+ folx, and people navigating anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges — including healthcare workers and educators who spend their days caring for others but rarely turn that care inward. I use a trauma-informed, psychodynamic approach and bring my own lived experience as a queer and neurodivergent person to the work. I'm well-versed in non-monogamy, polyamory, and kink dynamics, and welcome clients who don't fit the mold of traditional therapy. I own and operate Radiant Waves Counseling and am licensed in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Texas.
A big reason why I became a therapist is reflected in the quote: "Your vocation is where your deep gladness meets the world's deep need" (Frederick Buechner). I find tremendous joy in helping clients move toward healthier and more meaningful lives.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with certification in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C), and I am passionate about helping individuals feel heard, understood, and supported. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, perinatal mental health concerns, and everyday life stressors, offering a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore challenges and build effective coping strategies.
I’m deeply committed to creating a warm, welcoming environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself. I approach therapy with empathy, curiosity, and a genuine desire to understand your unique story. I’m here to support them in their journey, offering not just expertise, but also encouragement and a sense of partnership. My practice is all about empowering you to take charge of your life, equipping you with the tools and confidence to navigate whatever challenges come your way.
I have a strong personal connection to nature, which I believe can be a powerful tool for healing. I enjoy spending time outdoors, camping, hiking, surfing, and even farming—which allows me to maintain a sense of balance and peace.
I bring extensive training and expertise for individuals and families. My practice offers tele-health based services that specialize in providing trauma informed care for a range of issues including anxiety, mood regulation, and crisis management. My practice has evolved to encompass clinical work and coaching for clients with a diverse range of needs.
As a counselor, I bring extensive training and expertise in evidence-based therapies for individuals and couples. My goal is to provide supportive and empowering care. With over 24 years in the field, I have built a professional reputation for being responsive, empathic, and encouraging for clients wherever they are on their journey.
I earned my MSW from Rutgers University after changing from Engineering to Psychology during my undergraduate years. I primarily focus on trauma work but have a wide-ranging skillset and have worked with chronic pain, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, identity issues, relationship and communication issues, and more. I have worked with a variable population, of multiple genders, sexual orientations, races, and cultures; I am also LGBTQIA+, ENM, and kink affirming/supportive.
I earned my Masters in Social Work at Temple University in Philadelphia. I am licensed in NJ and CA.
