I’m Jeremy. Unique, kind, huge Lions fan, and hater of glitter. I would love to connect to see if we would be a good fit. I make traditional therapy fun by using nontraditional methods. We laugh a lot, ugly cry, and leave the session empowered to conquer the day. I’m not a fan of these bio things because it doesn’t do justice to what the therapeutic experience is like with me.
