With over 30 years of experience as a counselor and 4 years as a licensed supervisor, Glenda brings a wealth of expertise to her practice. Specializing in trauma, dissociation disorders, faith-based counseling, spiritual abuse, grief, and family of origin issues, Glenda offers individual and couples counseling, as well as family systems therapy.

Having established a private practice in the DFW metroplex over 28 years ago, Glenda's vision became a reality when she founded Open Doors Life Center in 2020. Her dream was to create a healing space that addresses the whole being, where clients can receive comprehensive support, and where coaches and counselors find joy in working collaboratively as a team. Clients often remark that the center exudes a peaceful atmosphere, which serves as the greatest compliment to Glenda and her team.
