"Luke immediately established rapport with our son so that he felt comfortable sharing his grief with Luke. We also appreciated that Luke equipped us as parents to continue the conversations at home."

— Parents of an adolescent son

"Luke's ability to meet our child exactly where he is each session has been transformative. He doesn't just work with our child; he actively involves us as parents, helping us better understand our child's inner world and refine our parenting approach. Luke offers a rare balance of authentic connection with teens and practical partnership with parents. We couldn't recommend him more highly for families seeking identity and healing."

— Parents of a teenage boy

"Luke is incredible. He has a unique ability to connect with clients deeply and quickly. That has been our experience with our teenage son during a very difficult season. After just one session, our son said, 'Luke is going to be so good for me.' Since then, Luke has provided not only a safe space for our son to express his emotions, but practical tools to navigate those emotions in real time for the long term. We are incredibly grateful for Luke."

— Parent of a teenage boy

"Luke helped my son through a difficult eighth-grade year. He made my son feel truly heard and seen, while also giving me space to process my own stress as a parent. Whether we met together or separately, Luke guided us through challenges with bullying, grades, and sports—helping us shift perspective when we needed it most. By ninth grade, we all agreed therapy was no longer needed, but we knew we could always return. My son now says he wants to be a therapist 'like Luke' someday."

— Parent of a teenage boy

"Counseling gave our son the tools he needed to succeed—both in the classroom and socially. Over two years, we watched him learn to focus his energy, handle peer pressure, and believe in himself. His higher grades and newfound confidence speak volumes. We're grateful he's now equipped to face the challenges ahead."

— Parents of a teenage boy

"Luke provided exceptional care for our two sons. His ability to connect with young people and make them feel truly heard and understood is rare. We're deeply grateful for his professional, caring approach and the positive impact he's had on both our boys."

— Parents of two sons

"We are so grateful for the care and guidance our daughter has received from Luke. He supported her through her ADHD journey, helping her learn practical tools while nurturing her confidence and sense of peace as she began medication. Luke also helped her understand the true meaning of trust and navigate both childhood and school struggles, making a meaningful difference in her emotional growth. He has truly been a blessing to our daughter and our entire family."
