Luke is a Doctor of Nursing Practice (Rush University) and a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, with advanced certification in Bioidentical Hormone Therapy through WorldLink Medical. His work sits at the intersection of hormones and the mind—an optimal-medicine, metabolic-psychiatry approach that treats the whole person, not a single lab value.

In his words

Why I practice this way.

Have you been feeling unwell? Do you feel like you don’t have a voice when it comes to your own health? Have you ever felt like your medications are continually increased or new medications and supplements are added without any improvement in your symptoms? Or maybe you’re stuck in an endless referral carousel. The humanity we share is more important than the illness or circumstance we may not.

As a Doctor of Nursing Practice specializing in psychiatry, hormone optimization, and regenerative medicine, I strive to bring focus back to treating you as a whole rather than an isolated disorder. My aim is a holistically dynamic integration of optimal medicine and metabolic psychiatry—helping you lead a life unhindered by your health. The mind and the body are intricately intertwined, and care that produces lasting recovery is best achieved through the harmonious treatment of both.

Treatment should help you feel like yourself again and relieve your distress—not make you feel numb, cost you your sense of self, or cause collateral damage and further disease. Therapeutic optimization is an art. My desire is to provide quality care through the effective, precise blending of optimal medicine and metabolic psychiatry, to help you achieve lasting health within you.

I earned my Master of Science in Nursing and my Doctor of Nursing Practice from Rush University, specializing in psychiatry. I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with advanced certification in Bioidentical Hormone Therapy—and in Menopause & Andropause—through WorldLink Medical.

“‘Normal’ is a population average. Optimal is what it feels like to be fully yourself again—and it’s the standard every patient deserves.”
