I know starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve felt misunderstood in the past.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience in behavioral health, and I hold a Doctor of Social Work (DSW). I specialize in childhood trauma, anxiety, burnout, and working with neurodivergent individuals, including ADHD and autism. I often support people who feel overwhelmed, stuck in survival mode, or exhausted from masking and holding everything together on their own.

My style is warm and down to earth, and I focus on meeting you where you are in each session. Therapy with me is collaborative and flexible, shaped around what works best for you. My goal is to offer a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported as you work toward meaningful change.

Welcome. Seeking therapy is a meaningful step, and I believe you deserve a space where you can feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that people have the capacity to heal, grow, and build lives that feel more manageable and fulfilling. I am Juton and I am a clinically licensed professional with over 15 years of experience providing crisis intervention, grief support, behavioral health services, clinical practice support, and training for helping professionals. My professional background includes work with individuals facing acute stress, life transitions, loss, emotional overwhelm, relationship concerns, and the effects of demanding work or caregiving roles. I work with adults who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, grief and bereavement, adjustment challenges, trauma-related stress, low self-esteem, or difficulty managing major changes in their lives. I am especially passionate about supporting people in high-stress helping professions, including healthcare workers, first responders, educators, caregivers, and behavioral health professionals. I would be honored to support you on that journey.

Therapist

Hi! I specialize in helping adults, teens, and children navigate the unique, everyday challenges of ADHD using a warm, collaborative, and evidence-based approach. In our sessions, I gently blend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help you or your child manage symptoms, reframe frustrating thought patterns, and process underlying emotional blocks.

As a trained EMDR clinician, I know that ADHD rarely exists in a vacuum—it often brings along anxiety, stress, or a feeling of being constantly overwhelmed. By combining the practical, everyday skill-building of CBT with the deep, healing potential of EMDR, we will work together to improve focus, emotional regulation, and confidence. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and comfortable space where clients of all ages feel truly heard, deeply understood, and fully equipped to thrive.
