First Steps Journey Counseling LLC

Therapy is a journey of self-discovery, healing, and growth. You don't have to walk it alone. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults since 2011, with an approach deeply rooted in trauma-informed care. Much of my experience involves supporting individuals through difficult and painful experiences, including the lasting effects of childhood abuse and neglect. Together, we can explore how past experiences may be impacting your relationships, emotions, and sense of self in a safe and compassionate space. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and play therapy to create individualized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs and goals. Healing is not about 'getting over' the past, but about understanding your story, rebuilding a sense of safety, and moving forward with greater clarity and confidence. Whether you are taking your first step toward therapy, returning after time away, or beginning a new chapter, I'm here to support you along the way.
