I don’t do fluff, and I don’t expect you to “do therapy right.” If you’re skeptical, resistant, or only here because someone else wants you to be, I can work with that. I’m a grounded, straightforward clinician with a background in crisis response, military and veteran care, and addiction treatment, and I’m a Certified Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC). I mostly work with teens (13+), young adults, and couples navigating anxiety, depression, mood swings, substance use, family conflict, legal issues, and big life changes. With teens, I keep parents involved when it makes sense, while protecting a space where your teen can be honest and truly invested in their own growth. Sessions with me feel like real conversations. We’ll focus on practical strategies, and we won’t skip the tough conversations that lead to lasting change. I combine trauma-informed care with CBT, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and DBT skills to help you understand yourself, manage emotions, and build stronger relationships. If you want therapy that’s honest, practical, and focused, I’m here. Supervision Disclosure: Jeremy is a Supervisee in Social Work and does not have authority for independent practice.
