Jeremy works with adolescents and adults and specializes in anxiety and panic disorders, depression and stress, ADHD, psychotic disorders, substance misuse and addiction, spirituality/faith/existential issues.

Jeremy completed his B.A. in psychology at Northern Illinois University. He continued his education at Ball State University and achieved his M.A. in Counseling. He began working at a community mental health clinic in Dekalb, IL initially working with individuals with severe mental health issues (schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, etc.). Following this experience Jeremy moved on to working with substance misuse and addiction issues within the same community clinic. Jeremy got married and started a family toward the end of this experience and was looking for a fresh experience. He briefly started a private practice, and then found a home at SamaraCare Counseling in 2015. Jeremy has been able to expand his experience working with various age groups and couples work as well.  He further trained in acceptance and commitment therapy, and spiritually integrated therapy.

In his spare time Jeremy enjoys time with his wife and two boys, enjoys home improvement and car repair projects, and stays active in various ways including yoga and cardio exercise.

“I approach therapy primarily from an ACT perspective, using mindfulness to help promote presentness with and acceptance of all our emotional experiences. This helps to bring expanded conscious awareness, psychological flexibility, and an ability to feel like we are living out our values more directly.”

 Jeremy sees clients in Naperville Tuesdays and Saturdays and via telehealth Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays.

Jeremy accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO and United Behavioral Health PPO.
