About Jeremy

I knew I wanted to be a therapist when I was nine years old.

By 25, I had a master’s degree in family therapy and was already helping people navigate relationships and emotional growth. But life didn’t follow a straight line.

While doing my own long-term trauma work, I built a parallel career in technology, eventually spending 15 years as a Chief Technology Officer. Even during those years, I continued writing, speaking, and publishing work on parenting and emotional development.

In midlife, I returned to graduate school for my Master of Social Work, became licensed, and re-entered clinical practice with decades of lived experience behind me.

My degrees gave me credentials. My own healing work taught me what actually helps people change.

I’ve spent my life working on myself, and I know what it feels like to work hard and still feel stuck, even when progress is happening beneath the surface.

Over time I began to see patterns in what actually helps people move forward. Today I translate those insights into clear, practical tools you can apply in your daily life through my writing, teaching, speaking, and coaching.

I’ve learned that two skills matter more than anything else in the healing journey: self-awareness and self-compassion. Self-awareness helps you see what is actually happening inside you. Without awareness, change is impossible. Self-compassion is learning to give ourselves the care and support we needed growing up. It allows us to face old hurts with kindness while doing the work of healing.

Healing is not about becoming someone new. It’s about releasing the weight of what happened to you so you can live more fully as yourself.
