Good listener
Clear direction and plan of action
Made me comfortable to share my feelings and thoughts
February 7, 2025Michael C.Verified patient
Luke is a fantastic therapist whose insights I will carry with me for a very long time. With him, I got deeper into understanding myself than I had after several different therapists over the course of many years. Sessions were at times emotional, but I always left feeling a renewed sense of motivation that a better way of being was possible. I would recommend him to anyone.
TEVerified patient
Working with Luke has been the most meaningful change in my life this past year. His demeanor is consistently kind, thoughtful, and attentive, and the gentle yet sturdy container he creates gives me the safety to explore every part of myself. It’s not always easy to bring light to painful experiences, but I trust Luke to guide me through them with compassion. I often leave sessions with a sense of expansiveness, as if I’ve set down something heavy that I have been carrying for a very long time.
Beyond helping me navigate pain, Luke has a remarkable ability to notice and nurture moments of calm, acceptance, pride, confidence, and joy. He encourages me to explore how those emotions feel in my body and to practice holding onto them. It has been profoundly healing to rediscover what it’s like to genuinely feel good.
I’m sincerely grateful for Luke’s depth, presence, and support. He always meets me exactly where I am, and I look forward to continued exploration and growth together.
EMVerified patient
My time with Luke as my therapist was nothing but incredible. I was nervous at first but his calm energy and presence helped me relax. I was able to open up and dig deep to heal trauma that had been affecting my life for years. He helped me feel safe, supported and guided through my therapy journey. I am so glad I was able to work with Luke. I would highly recommend and think he is wonderful!
SCVerified patient
Luke is a warm, attentive, and deeply thoughtful therapist. He brings clarity and compassion to his work, helping clients feel supported as they navigate life’s challenges. His presence is steady and genuine, and his approach encourages meaningful insight and growth.
NCVerified patient
Luke is an exceptional therapist. He is supportive, insightful, patient, and attentive. As a gay man, I feel seen and understood in Luke’s presence.
Under Luke’s care, I learned how to slow down and actually feel what would be coming up during sessions. I discovered that much of my anxiety resulted from a struggle to connect with my emotional self. Luke facilitated this connection, and now I feel more in touch with my feelings and with others. I am able to open my heart to the world in new and powerful ways.
Therapy with Luke is not just treatment: it is enriching soul-work that has transformed my vision of the good life.
MBVerified patient
Working with Luke has been a truly transformative experience. From the beginning, I felt deeply seen and understood in a way I hadn’t experienced before in therapy. His calm, grounding presence helped me feel safe enough to open up, even about things I’ve held in for years.
Luke brings a unique blend of somatic and relational work to each session. He gently guides you into your body and emotions, helping you make contact with parts of yourself that might feel stuck, shut down, or overwhelmed. His approach—drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)—feels both artful and deeply attuned. Rather than just talking through problems, Luke helps you feel your way through them with compassion, curiosity, and care.
If you’re looking for a therapist who brings both heart and clinical depth, and who can hold space for complex emotional experiences in a warm and attuned way, I can’t recommend Luke enough.

JAVerified patient
My experience with Austin has been one of the best i’ve had with a therapist. He created a space where I feel safe to process through challenging emotions, which is not easy to do.

Anna is a thoughtful and engaged listener who really takes the time to understand you before offering her perspective. Her compassionate, curious energy feels supportive and energizing. I leave our sessions with more clarity and a better sense of what I really want and need. I highly recommend working with her.
NDVerified patient
working with Anna has been so refreshing: she is kink and LGBTQ affirming and I don’t have to hide any part of myself in our sessions. I used to think privacy was one of my core values, but I’ve come to realize that could sometimes mean I was keeping secrets, from myself most of all. I didn’t realize how liberating it would feel to be able to discuss all aspects of my life in therapy, but it’s actually helped me open up whole new channels in my relationships with partners, family and friends. I’m so glad I found Anna! The trust we’ve built is really change-making

ACVerified patient
Anna put me at ease immediately.. she was so kind and so perceptive that all my anxiety about going to therapy dissipated… she has helped me look inward and discover parts of myself I have spent a lifetime avoiding … it has been an incredibly freeing and enlightening experience… with Anna as my guide I am finally able to alleviate fears that have held me back from living the life I now believe I am capable of living .. thank you, Anna!
LFVerified patient
Working with Anna has been truly life changing. She helped me uncover and gently work through deep-rooted trauma I didn’t even realize I was still carrying. Over time, I’ve felt my anxiety ease and my ability to cope grow stronger. I’m so grateful for her guidance and support. She always makes me feel safe and held, even when we’re doing brave work.
EJVerified patient
Working with Anna has allowed me to see the connections between my role as a caregiver and my experiences as a kid who was treated like an adult. Making that connection has helped me reassess your responsibilities and set loving boundaries.
GKVerified patient
I had a hard time finding a therapist who supports and pushes me to think about my patterns without shame, getting stuck. Anna makes me feel proud of and less ashamed of all my parts. This has helped me grow in ways I couldn't imagine.
TJVerified patient
I started working with Anna recently and already feel a big difference. I’ve been dealing with feelings of self-blame and low self confidence for awhile, and she’s helped me find new ways to manage. Where I used to feel depressed and stuck, I’m now feeling more hopeful and in control. I really enjoy working with her and have recommended her to friends!
BRVerified patient

CSVerified patient
I feel grateful to learn from Daniela. I feel safe and empowered in her presence and she treats me as a true, equal partner in our conversations. She never makes me feel like there's something wrong with me for my struggles.
LMVerified patient
Daniela is amazing to work with--I feel like she is really with me in all the stuff I am going through. She always helps to give me a new perspective on things I struggle with. So grateful I get to work with her!
TCVerified patient
Daniela guided me to an understanding of my patterns, triggers, and myself. I now feel like I have the tools to find balance and peace in my relationships after going on a journey of discovery with her to the root of my behavior. Because of her work, I see myself through a lens of compassion and understanding. Not shame.
MWVerified patient
I originally reached out for help with anxiety, but our work touched so much more—family dynamics, early
trauma, perfectionism. Daniela met every layer with patience and care. She asks powerful questions and
never rushes the process. I feel more connected to myself and better able to handle life’s inevitable waves.
DRVerified patient
I’ve always been really independent and I’ve struggled with opening up to people, even therapists. But with Daniela, things were different from the start. She has this calm way to her, she REALLY listens, and she doesn’t judge. And it was instantly clear to me that she’s just being her authentic self. She was incredibly patient with me, too. Little by little I let my guard down, and I’m so glad I did because I feel more grounded and in touch with my feelings and needs in a way I never have before.
TRVerified patient
I sought out Daniela when I was feeling stuck in patterns of codependency and people-pleasing. She helped me untangle these habits and start choosing myself in a way I hadn't before. She's incredibly validating, patient, and insightful
EWVerified patient
When I came back to therapy, I was looking for someone who could not only hold space for everything I was carrying, but also guide me in beginning to release what I hadn't yet leamed how to face. With Daniela, I found that and so much more. I felt deeply supported and safe enough to be fully open — and in that space, I've been able to move through and grow beyond the experiences that once felt so heavy.
MAVerified patient
I was very impressed with Daniela as a therapist. She asked insightful questions, was incredibly supportive, and gave me ways to reflect and think deeply to work through things I struggle with. She created a very safe space which I really appreciated. Would definitely see her again!
JRVerified patient
Working with Daniela helped me finally face the voice that was telling me I wasn’t enough. Through our work, I started to understand what self-love actually feels like and for the first time, I actually began to believe it.
JBVerified patient
Daniela is a truly exceptional therapist. From our very first session, I felt completely at ease- her warmth compassion, and honestly created an immediate sense of safety and trust. Daniela has a natural ability to make clients feel understood, and her calming presence helped ground me during a time when I was feeling especially overwhelmed by anxiety. She asks thoughtful questions that consistently help me see things from new perspectives, and I always leave our sessions feeling affirmed and supported. Daniela is not only intuitive and easy to talk to , but also clear highly skilled. I'm so greatful to be working with her and genuinely look forward to continuing our work together.
ZSVerified patient
Starting therapy was intimidating, but Daniela made it feel so natural. I initially came in for
anxiety and a major life transition, and I've grown so much in how I handle both. I always
feel like I can be fully myself with her, without fear of judgment. She’s a really skilled and
compassionate therapist.
SSVerified patient
Daniela’s skill, heart, and attunement make her an excellent therapist for anxiety,
life transitions, and relational trauma. Clients feel safe to explore, heal, and truly
grow. She is a highly skilled therapist who I can’t recommend enough.
ESVerified patient
I started seeing Daniela during one of the hardest times in my life. I was dealing with severe anxiety, complicated family dynamics, and constant feelings of “not being enough.” I had seen therapists before but never felt fully understood until working with her. Daniela creates a space where you can really be yourself, even when you're messy or unsure. She’s compassionate, patient, and also gently challenges you to grow when you're ready. Through our sessions, I've been able to set healthier boundaries, process painful experiences from the past, and reconnect with a sense of self-trust I didn’t know I could have. I always leave sessions feeling more grounded and more capable of navigating life. I recommend her to anyone who wants to feel truly seen.

DKVerified patient
I've been to many therapists over the years and was never able tofind someone who was able to see past what I could not, while also providing a safe space where I was comfortable to share unconditionally, until I started seeing Erica. She helps people untangle the inner critic and reconnect with their most authentic self. She creates space that's both grounding and growth-oriented.
ASVerified patient
I've been working with Erica on trauma processing for the last year and found the experience totally transformative. Erica helped me find so many new ways of thinking and talking about my own experiences and I've felt a marked difference in my personal life. I've always found Erica to be considerate, non-judgemental, and deeply knowledgeable. I'd recommend seeing Erica to anyone!
