In today's fast-paced world, stress has become an almost ubiquitous experience, affecting individuals across various walks of life. My ideal client embodies this struggle—someone grappling with the relentless pressures and demands of daily living. Such clients often find themselves feeling on edge, unable to quiet their minds, and burdened with a sense of lethargy that paralyzes their motivation. Understanding the intricacies of their experience is crucial to providing the support they need on their journey toward well-being.

Stress manifests in myriad ways, and for my ideal client, it often creates an incessant whirlwind of thoughts that disrupts their peace of mind. These spiraling thoughts can be overwhelming, leading to a cycle of worry and anxiety that is difficult to escape. It is not uncommon for individuals in this state to feel trapped in a never-ending loop of “what ifs,” replaying past events or catastrophizing future scenarios. This overwhelming mental activity can leave one feeling drained and exhausted, reducing their ability to engage meaningfully with life.

Low motivation is another significant aspect of my ideal client's experience. Simple tasks that once felt manageable now seem monumental. The energy that once fueled productivity and happiness is replaced with a fog of fatigue and apathy. This disengagement often exacerbates feelings of guilt and inadequacy, creating a vicious cycle where clients feel even more stressed and demotivated because they perceive themselves as failing to meet their own expectations. The internal dialogue frequently becomes excessively critical, with clients telling themselves they should be doing better or that others are more successful.

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.

I am professional, compassionate, empathetic, and honest.
