Your world seems marked by disconnection, and you’re looking for a lifeline that’s tethered to something real. What you long for is genuine, caring human contact that might help you back to solid ground.

Who I work with

As someone who has traversed multiple cultures (a son of immigrants, a once foreigner who studied and worked overseas, an equal-parts believer/doubter), I relate to anyone who feels caught in-between: couples who have moved out of the comforts of certainty; parents tumbling through their kids’ stages of development; promising professionals facing professions without promise; displaced persons hurt by fractured communities or unchosen upheaval.

I believe humans need connection. Connection to and within ourselves. Connection to other living beings. And connection to broader and deeper meaning.

In our sessions

I want to help you re-discover and create anew the connections in your own story. We will listen to what your heart, mind, and body might be suggesting need repair or strengthening; we’ll identify persistent patterns that emerge from your personal and family history; and we’ll take action to get you back on the pathways that lead to positive change.

I commit to bringing to our collaboration hospitality, insight, and encouragement, as much as I can, whenever we share space together.

Background

I have enjoyed writing in some form since the time of dot matrix printers and have worked primarily with words for 20+ years, sometimes as an editor, briefly as a grad student (theological studies), earnestly in multiple leadership roles, and most recently as a communications coach and consultant for non-profit leaders, entrepreneurs, and authors/creatives. Recognizing that the energy in my conversations was often directed toward meaning and motivation rather than metrics and monetization, I made the vocational shift toward counselling to place at the centre of my work and words the goals I believe to be most life-giving.

I am a parent, spouse, son, sibling, and friend; you are welcome in my counselling practice in all your uniqueness and social and cultural location.

About working with an Incourage Institute intern

Counselling interns are graduate students in the final stage of their training, seeing clients as part of a supervised practicum. The reduced fee reflects where Lucas is in his career, not how much care goes into your sessions.

  • Practising under the supervision of our clinical supervision team, led by clinical director Nelson Szeto, MCP, RCC-ACS
  • Working from a treatment plan set with a licensed clinician at intake
  • Weekly 90-minute individual supervision, every week of the placement
  • Monthly two-hour group supervision with the full Institute cohort
  • Enrolled in the Master of Counselling Psychology at Adler University; placement runs from September 2026 to August 2027

Because placements are time-limited, we talk about the ending from the beginning. If you’d like to continue after his placement finishes, we’ll plan that transition with you well in advance.
