What if the goal wasn't just healing, but
becoming more fully alive?

Working Together
You're probably not new to the idea of doing the work. And something in you is ready to go deeper than you've been able to go before.
That's exactly the territory I work in.
What I offer isn't just a space to process what's happening. It's a collaborative process of real, embodied change. The kind that doesn't just make sense intellectually but that you can feel in your body, in your relationships, and in how you move through your daily life.
People come to me when they're ready to stop standing at the edge of their own life and step fully into it. When they want to feel more present, more connected, and more genuinely themselves. When they're ready for transformation that shows up where it matters most.
If that's where you are, let's talk.
Hello! I’m Jeremy.
Becoming a therapist wasn't exactly part of the plan.
For twenty years I worked as a graphic designer. I was good at it, and I built a reasonably successful career. But as I was heading into my forties I found myself in a therapist's office, sorting through layers of hurt and disconnection I didn't know I was carrying. That experience cracked something open in me. Not just what I did for work, but how I understood myself, my relationships, and what it means to be present in my own life.
I went back to school because I wanted to understand connection. Why it comes easily for some people and feels so out of reach for others. How we can want closeness and push it away at the same time. Why insight alone so rarely seems to be enough to sustain meaningful change.
Over the past decade in this field, that curiosity has expanded to include the body as a central and integral part of the answer. What I kept witnessing, in my own life and in the lives of the people I work with, was that lasting change doesn't just happen in the mind. It happens when the body is part of the process. When we learn to work with what we're carrying at the level where it actually lives.
I bring all of that into the room. The years of my own work on myself. The humility of knowing what it feels like to be stuck. And I carry a genuine understanding of what it costs to move through a world that hasn't always had space for us. What it feels like to armor up, to shrink, to perform. And what becomes possible when we finally start letting that go.
When you work with me, you don't have to translate yourself. You can just show up.
What guides this work.
The capacity to thrive is inherent in every person. Not something to be installed or taught, but something to be uncovered and restored.
The body is not the problem. It's the resource. The sensations, signals, and responses your body offers are not obstacles to work around but information to work with. Learning to trust that is often where the most meaningful change begins.
Lasting change is embodied. Understanding yourself is valuable and it isn't the finish line. Real transformation shows up in how you feel, how you relate, and how you move through your daily life, not just in what you know about yourself.
Connection is the point of this work. With yourself and with the people who matter to you. Not a luxury or a reward for doing the work, but what we're healing toward all along.
Where I Specialize
My work draws on a range of approaches, but these are the areas where I focus most deeply:
Somatic Experiencing and Somatic Psychotherapy
Body-based approaches that address trauma, anxiety, and chronic stress at their roots, and open the door to greater presence, connection, and aliveness.
LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy
Culturally attuned care for LGBTQ+ individuals navigating identity, shame, relationships, and the particular toll of living in a world that hasn't always been welcoming.
Therapy for Religious and Spiritual Trauma
When the place that was supposed to offer belonging becomes a source of harm, the impact runs deep. Support for rebuilding a sense of self and reclaiming your own sense of meaning and belonging.
Sex Therapy for Men
A shame-free, body-aware approach to sexuality, intimacy, and the relational patterns that get in the way.
