From Lucas: “My approach to counseling is very person-centered, meeting the client where they are and providing a space to do what they believe is the most helpful for them. I am passionate about autonomy and being the expert of your own story, but I am also open to taking a more structured, straightforward approach when needed. I enjoy working with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, especially trans and nonbinary folks. I look forward to getting to know you and beginning our work together!”
