Hi, I’m Glenn! I know what it can feel like to be lost within yourself—to move through life feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or never quite safe enough to settle. I also knows how healing it can be to experience a relationship where you are fully seen, accepted as you are, and given the time and space to be exactly where you are without being rushed or pushed to change.

I’m glad you’re here! I believe that healing happens in relationship. Sometimes we need another person to help create a sense of safety before we can begin to find that safety within ourselves. If we work together, My hope is to offer you a safe place to land. Together we will create a therapeutic relationship that allows you to slow down, become curious about your experiences, and gradually develop a deeper sense of trust in yourself and your ability to navigate life.

My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and integrative. I draw from Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, narrative and attachment-based therapies, as well as somatic and nervous-system-informed approaches such as Somatic Experiencing®, applied polyvagal-informed therapy, autonomic nervous system mapping, and trauma-informed stabilization. I believe in working with both the mind and the body, recognizing that healing is not simply about understanding why we feel the way we do, but learning to feel safe enough to experience something different.

I work with adults navigating trauma and complex trauma, family-of-origin and attachment wounds, relationship difficulties, anxiety and depression, people-pleasing and self-abandonment, emotional regulation, substance use and recovery, and the patterns we develop to cope when life feels overwhelming. I meet each person with warmth, curiosity, and respect for their own pace, believing that you do not need to be “fixed” in order to deserve care.

When I’m not working, you can usually find me having a pastry (or two) at Boulted Bread, walking my dogs around Dorothea Dix Park, or riding my bike along Raleigh’s greenways. I am also on an ongoing search for Raleigh’s best chocolate chip cookie—so if you have a recommendation, please let me know.
