I Know What It's
Like to Carry This
I'm not a therapist who read about this in a textbook. I'm a man who lived it, did the work, and came out the other side.
It Didn't Start in a Classroom
Growing up, I was the quiet one. Sensitive, empathetic, and terrified of what people thought of me. I was the kid who felt everything and showed nothing — the one who kept the peace because conflict felt dangerous, not because things were actually okay.
By the time I was a young man, the anxiety had taken hold. So had the darker thoughts. I dealt with trauma I hadn't named yet, social anxiety that made normal situations feel impossible, and a season of suicidal ideation that I didn't tell anyone about. I pushed through — because that's what I knew how to do.
What changed wasn't willpower. It was faith, inner-healing work, and the decision to stop hiding from myself. I had to put aside my ego, admit what I didn't want to admit, and actually do the work — not talk around it. I came through that season a different man. And it's that story, more than any credential, that drives everything I do now.
What I Kept Seeing in the Work
I started as a personal trainer. Even then, people would open up to me — not just about their body goals, but about everything else. I noticed that real change, the kind that actually sticks, always had something underneath it. A mindset shift. A hard truth someone finally accepted. A belief that needed to break before anything else could.
I studied criminal justice first. Then I followed what I kept seeing in the work: the psychology underneath the behavior. I shifted to counseling psychology and never looked back. Ten years later, I work almost exclusively with men — particularly the empathetic, sensitive ones who've learned to keep quiet and push through. I know that man. I was that man.
How I Work
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a background in counseling psychology. I draw from CBT, exposure work, somatic therapy, and Christ-centered inner healing — with StrengthsFinder 2.0 and neuroscience psychoeducation woven in where they help you understand what's actually happening in your own mind and body.
I'm eclectic on purpose. I use what serves you, not what fits a protocol. Some men need to understand the neuroscience first — once they see what's happening in their brain, it stops feeling like something is permanently broken. Other men need to get into the body work sooner. Others need to start with prayer and the biblical framework. We figure that out together.
What I don't do is nod along and call that therapy. You'll hear honest feedback. I'll expect something of you. If you want a comfortable hour where nothing is challenged, this is the wrong fit.
"I am fair, but I am firm. True healing is a marathon, not a sprint — but you don't have to run it alone."
— Jeremiah Model, LMHCMen Who Are Ready to Be Honest About It
I work almost exclusively with men — specifically Christian men, roughly 27 to 48, dealing with trauma, social anxiety, and the patterns that come with them. The empathetic guy. The people-pleaser. The one who's liked by everyone and known by no one. The man who says yes when he means no, goes quiet when he should speak up, and replays what he should have said long after everyone else has moved on. Often it's a man who wants to lead well — in his home, his friendships, his faith — but never had a father figure show him what healthy, grounded masculinity actually looks like.
Faith is woven into the work here — not bolted on as an afterthought. If you're a man of faith and you want prayer, biblical inner healing, and Christian principles to be part of the work, they will be. That's not a service I offer alongside therapy. That's the foundation.
This is telehealth only — every session is online, which means if you're anywhere in Florida, you're in.
The First Step
Is the Hardest
If you've been carrying this a long time — avoiding the conversation, telling yourself it isn't that bad, or waiting until you feel ready — I understand. That's exactly the kind of pattern we work on in here. It has to start somewhere: one honest conversation to see if this is the right fit. And I promise you, if you don't take risks to start, nothing will change.
