Hi there, I'm Luke!

I work mostly with adults and specialize in LGBTQ+ psychiatric care. My approach is patient-centered and trauma-focused, which can be applied to a wide range of mental health conditions. I help patients understand how they can be empowered in their own health care and rediscover agency in their lives.

My focus

My focus is on caring for socially vulnerable populations that struggle to identify with conventional providers, especially the LGBTQ+ community. I work primarily with patients who suffer from mood disorders, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, psychoses, schizophrenia, and grief.

My approach

I use a combination of modalities, including CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and behavioral activation. As a queer provider, I can relate to the lack of resources available to marginalized populations. Working with people who have struggled with systemic oppression and identity formation gives my work meaning and depth.
