Jessika Shoemaker,
Executive Director
As the Executive Director at Active Steps LLC, I have the privilege of leading a passionate team dedicated to providing unparalleled behavioral health services. Our mission is simple yet profound: to empower individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and others in need of support to achieve greater independence and self-reliance, thereby enriching their overall quality of life.
At Active Steps, we believe in going above and beyond to ensure our members receive the highest quality care. We're committed to creating vibrant, engaging learning environments and fostering a culture of teamwork where every member of our organization is dedicated to doing "whatever it takes" to make a positive impact.
Drawing from my experience in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), I bring a unique blend of expertise, rigor, and Analytical reasoning skills to the table. But it's not just about technical know-how—it's about having a profound respect for our clients and their families. Together, we're breaking down barriers, transcending cultural differences, and driving forward in our relentless pursuit of progress within the behavioral health industry. I couldnt be more honored to be working with such a dedicated team on this incredible journey of making a difference!

Julie Wooton, M.A.
Clinical Supervisor
I’m Julie and I pivoted to the ABA field after spending over 15 years in the educational setting, working with students severely impacted with autism and other diagnoses. I recently completed my BCBA coursework and my goal is to sit for the exam before June of 2025. My passion has always been working with families with children with special needs and ABA has allowed me to address behaviors at their core. As a parent myself, the value of quality of life for everyone in the family cannot be understated and I believe ABA can contribute towards improvement.

Sabrina Freeman, B.A.
SR. Clinical Supervisor
I attended undergrad at the University of San Francisco (BA Psychology) and will be continuing into a masters program this Fall. I stumbled into ABA in 2020 which had immediately become a perfect fit between passion and career that also allowed me the flexibility of balancing motherhood and education. Providing ABA services has been a wonderful experience; witnessing the independence of our clients bloom while having the opportunity to be a part of it is truly special. I have had a lifelong passion for becoming an advocate for others, so this field has allowed me to explore advocacy at a deeper level as well. I strongly believe in being a model of flexibility, positivity, and kindness - especially when it comes to shaping the children that are our future!
