Hello, I appreciate you wanting to find out more about me, and how I might be able to help you. I respect that you can speak for yourself and I understand the impact of trauma. I believe that the strength of the family unit is key to each member thriving. You may need to be heard, repair relationships, heal from being hurt and hurting others, or explore new ways of communicating. Facing fears and difficult decisions takes courage. Building better communication and stronger relationships takes time and effort. So, where to start? We can meet, and then you can decide if you feel comfortable with me.

Our time together with you or you and your spouse, partner, children, family means opportunities to find new ways to live. Learn appropriate communication, develop and strengthen bonds, find meaning from truthfully examining your life and choices. Whether 3 years old or 93, everyone can become healthier. Let's get to the heart of things at your pace.

Let’s get you up and out of whatever is weighing you down. Confidence in your choices is possible. Another way to communicate is possible. Peace in your home is possible. Being heard and understood is possible. Boundaries are possible. Forgiveness is possible. You may be closer to what you want and need than you realize. I believe I can help.

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.

You don't have to have it figured out before our first conversation. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity, and the quiet weight that stress, grief, and anger can carry over time. I have a particular focus on men's mental health and the challenges that come with asking for support when you've always been expected to handle it. I've spent over a decade in non-profit work with young adults and families, college counseling, and private practice, meeting people at a wide range of starting points. My goal is to help you build a life that actually fits. If any of this resonates, I'd love to connect.
