Previously he was a public health Registered Nurse at a community clinic in San Francisco, CA, that specialized in care for the LGBTQ+ community as well as people experiencing homelessness. His psych-specific treatment populations include young adults with serious mental illness; adults with chronic depression and anxiety; and people living with residual symptoms of trauma. In his studies at UCSF, he also focused on the treatment of individuals with comorbid HIV and/or substance use disorders. He enjoys engaging with each client to find ways in which they can feel empowered in their own mental health care. Although his passion is medication management, treatment, and education, he engages in therapy with clients when appropriate and necessary. Luke recently moved to Hawaii to practice here because, after years of visiting family on Oahu, he felt very welcomed and comfortable with island life. From living in India to NYC and Prague, and working in everything from interior design to nightlife and now healthcare, he hopes his constellation of life experiences can inform a productive therapeutic rapport based on empathy, trust and mutual respect. Luke relaxes with SUP, video games. yoga/meditation and beaching. He is also an adrenaline junkie who rides roller coasters, watches horror movies and gets body art whenever he has the chance.
