About Me

Hello! My name is Thankful and I believe that meaningful therapy begins with connection. My goal is to create a comfortable, safe, and judgement-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and accepted exactly as you are.
I hold a Master's degree in Social Work and am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and Certified EMDR Therapist through EMDRIA. I also have a background in business and hold a certification in nonprofit management through American Humanics. This combination of clinical and business experience has given me a unique perspective on problem-solving, leadership, advocacy, and helping people navigate life's challenges.
With nearly twenty years of experience in the behavioral health field, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations, including children, adults, families experiencing financial hardships, individuals facing behavioral challenges, people living with substance abuse issues and severe mental illness, and those coping with trauma and deep-seated emotional wounds.
My approach is trauma-informed, straightforward, compassionate, and centered on the therapeutic relationship. I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey and together we can explore what has shaped you, identify the patterns holding you back, and develop tools to help you move forward.
My hope is that our work together leaves you feeling empowered, more confident in yourself, and better equipped to handle life's challenges. Lets go!
