Hello, I'm Glendenise, a Christian therapist. I am available to work with anyone who is ready to heal and be heard. My approach is to collaborate with you, to listen, and create a space that cultivates growth. The objective is for you to expose unhealthy mindsets and past experiences, so you can overcome and move forward. When you expose those thoughts and feelings, it leaves room to uproot the problem and address your challenges head on. Expect to process the current conflicts, to uncover negative patterns and discover your life goals. You taking this step is your opportunity to embrace your breakthrough and overcome the hurt that is in your heart. Feel free to reach out and schedule an appointment by emailing or calling. It's time for you to have peace.

Do you look like you have it all together on the outside—but feel overwhelmed, anxious, or exhausted on the inside? If you're constantly chasing perfection, struggling to slow down, or feeling like it's never enough, you’re not alone. I am passionate about working with teens and emerging adults navigating high-functioning anxiety and perfectionism. Therapy can help you quiet your inner critic, manage anxiety, and build a life rooted in balance—not burnout. Let’s work together to help you feel more grounded. I use an integrative approach that is based on psychodynamic, relational, and cognitive behavioral techniques. Through a holistic lens, we’ll explore the emotional, physical, and relational aspects of your life so you can move forward with confidence. I have experience supporting clients through a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, substance use, relationship issues, and the transition from high school to college. I will provide you with a collaborative environment where your thoughts, feelings, and experiences are taken seriously. I believe that therapy is most effective when it’s a partnership — we’ll work together to identify your goals, explore challenges, and build on your strengths. You don’t have to figure it all out alone. Let’s navigate this chapter together!

Asking for help is an act of courage; it is one of the bravest things you can do. As an eclectic therapist, I primarily draw from psychodynamic, relational, cognitive behavioral, and humanistic theory to provide an inclusive, affirming, trauma-sensitive space for individuals to engage in healing and self-exploration. I have experience working in inpatient and outpatient settings with adults battling challenges including PTSD/complex trauma, domestic/intimate partner violence, mood disorders, LGBTQIA+ issues, personality disorders, and perinatal mental health.

I tend to work best with college students and young adults who look “high-functioning” on the outside but feel overwhelmed on the inside. Many of the students I see are smart, reflective, and trying hard — yet struggling with anxiety, mood swings, burnout, panic, or a constant feeling of pressure to perform or hold everything together. You might feel stuck between who you were expected to be and who you’re becoming. You may overthink conversations, feel emotionally exhausted, struggle with motivation, or feel disconnected from yourself or others. Some students I work with have experienced past stress or trauma that still shows up in their body — through anxiety, sleep issues, emotional shutdown, or feeling on edge — even if “nothing bad” seems to be happening now. In therapy, we move at your pace. You don’t need to have the right words or a clear goal right away. My approach is supportive, curious, and collaborative — focused on helping you understand what’s happening beneath the surface and develop tools that actually feel usable in real life. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, feel less alone, and build steadiness during a demanding and uncertain chapter of life. I will be getting credentialed with additional insurances and accepting private pay-please feel free to check back or reach out if you have any additional questions or concerns.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals through stress, mood-related challenges, and life transitions.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and identity-related concerns. I have experience supporting individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ patients and individuals from immigrant families navigating the intersection of cultural identity, family dynamics, and intergenerational experiences. I also have experience working with individuals facing more complex mental health challenges, including psychosis and other high acuity presentations, and I strive to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where patients feel understood, empowered, and safe throughout the therapeutic process. My approach to therapy is informed by attachment theory, recognizing that our earliest relationships can shape how we experience trust, intimacy, conflict, and emotional safety throughout our lives. In therapy, we can explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion while developing healthier ways of relating to ourselves and others. I integrate psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and somatic approaches, including breathwork and grounding techniques, to help patients build insight, strengthen coping skills, regulate emotions, and create meaningful, lasting change. I'm passionate about helping people recognize their strengths and create meaningful change, even during some of the most difficult periods of their lives. I value the opportunity to build genuine therapeutic relationships and provide a space where patients feel supported, understood, and empowered. Seeing patients gain insight, develop confidence, and achieve goals they once thought were out of reach is what makes this work so rewarding to me.

This includes specialized experience supporting adolescents, women, and individuals within the LGBTQ+ community. I also commonly work with healthcare providers managing burnout, compassion fatigue, and the pressures of caring for others. Therapy with me focuses on strengthening self-acceptance, building insight, and developing practical tools that support meaningful change. Clients often report feeling more grounded, clearer about who they are, and better able to navigate relationships, stressors, and major life decisions. My goal is to help you cultivate a sense of confidence, resilience, and alignment with the life you want to live.
