As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each individual’s unique needs. I believe in holistic treatment that addresses both the mind and body, and I’m committed to creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and supported.

You should know:

  • I listen first. Your story and your experience matter most.
  • Collaboration is key. We’ll work together to find the right treatment plan—whether that includes medication, therapy referrals, lifestyle adjustments, or all of the above.
  • I respect your pace. Healing is not a race. I'm here for you, whether you're taking small steps or big ones.
  • Your identity matters. I provide inclusive care for people of all backgrounds, genders, and neurodiverse identities.

Above all, I want you to feel empowered in your mental health journey.

Hello, and welcome. I believe that feeling safe, seen, respected, and accepted is an important part of the therapeutic process. I am committed to creating a welcoming environment that values and reflects diversity and inclusivity for all, and I strive to cultivate a warm supportive space where you can bring your whole self and feel free to be who you are.

I see the body as a powerful part of the healing process and a gateway to deeper self-awareness. My approach is grounded in somatic counseling psychology, with a foundation in body psychotherapy and dance movement therapy. I also draw from Kundalini yoga, Jungian dream and shadow work, mindfulness, meditation, regression therapy, ancestral healing practices, and conscious dance movement. I bring these perspectives together in a relational and intuitive approach that makes room for creativity, curiosity, and honest, straightforward guidance.

My work is holistic and integrative, honoring the connection between mind, body, heart, and spirit. When working with trauma, I draw from approaches such as Somatic Experiencing (SE), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Gestalt Parts Work, and Imagery Therapy.

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


As a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree from The National Catholic School of Social Services, I bring extensive experience from my work in university-based teaching hospitals and ambulatory care clinics. My practice focuses on supporting adults and their caregivers through challenges such as anxiety, depression, complex medical conditions (acute and chronic), medical trauma, loss, grief, and significant life transitions.

I have a specialization in guiding individuals and their caregivers through the cancer journey, encompassing every phase—from diagnosis and treatment to recovery, survivorship, and end-of-life care. I have also worked extensively with patients undergoing stem cell transplants, CAR-T and immunotherapy.

My training and experience also includes helping individuals manage disorders of the brain-gut interaction. Support, education and strategies address the connection between the mind and gastrointestinal health. Recognizing that everyday stressors can greatly affect your well-being, I adapt my clinical approach to suit a variety of life situations, always tailoring care to meet your unique needs.

I believe that even during life's most difficult seasons, growth and healing are possible.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, stress, relationship concerns, career changes, burnout, and other significant life transitions. Whether you're navigating divorce, adjusting to a new chapter, or feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, my goal is to provide a supportive environment where you can process your experiences and develop practical strategies for moving forward.

My therapeutic approach is personalized and evidence-based. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care to meet clients where they are and help them achieve meaningful progress.

With experience as both a Licensed Professional Counselor and educational leader, I understand the unique pressures many adults face while balancing work, family, relationships, and personal growth.

My hope is that every client leaves therapy feeling more empowered, resilient, and confident in their ability to navigate whatever comes next.

"Together, we'll create a path forward—one step at a time."

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


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.
