"Since I first met Glenda nearly 12 years ago, her life has been devoted to seeing people emotionally restored and living healthy - whether as an individual, a married couple, or family unit.  A gifted listener, Glenda also knows how to ask the tough questions with empathy and kindness, helping individuals prioritize their lives, discover new strengths, meet challenges, and experience freedom from past mistakes. The difference her presence has made in my life cannot be measured."

" I have had the privilege of knowing Glenda for approximately 4 years. Glenda helped train and mentor me through the lay counseling program at First Covenant Church. Glenda is exceptionally insightful and never ceases to amaze me with her ability to understand, process, and give feedback and guidance. Through her training, her faith, life experience and maturity, Glenda is a superstar counselor and advisor.  I do not hesitate recommending her for an initial consultation.  Glenda has the integrity to accept issues and personalities she can help and to refer out potential clients she feels can optimally be coached by another professional."

"I met Glenda when she was the Women's Ministry Director at the church I attended. I immediately noticed her thoughtful and calm demeanor, and her ability and desire to give her full attention and concern to everyone she communicated with. She encouraged me to join her lay counseling team at the church and it was during that season of learning, watching, and interacting with her that I discovered that she has deep and profound wisdom, wisdom that is clearly a gift that comes from time spent in God's word and reliance upon the Holy Spirit. She is a reliable and trustworthy, and I believe anyone who has the opportunity to spend time under her counsel will have new insights, confidence, understanding and refreshment when looking for help with life's challenges."

-Marcia Carlton

 

"Glenda is a gifted listener who can get to the heart of an issue quickly.  Her years of education, training on-the-job experience and her own life experiences make her uniquely qualified to lead and coach others.  She lives out her faith daily and can be trusted to give wise and godly counsel.  Glenda is generous with her knowledge and resources and is a role model for anyone seeking clarity and motivation in their lives."

"When I first met Glenda I was at a very low point in my life. Mike and I had just broken up, and while I knew I wanted to marry him, I had no idea how to work through some of the issues we were having or how to even identify some of them. I had never sought counseling before but felt like I had no where else to turn. I'm not one for sharing my heart, especially with people I don't know, but Glenda exudes peace and compassion and you can't help but feel comfortable and safe around her.  In one short hour, Glenda was able to cut right to the heart of some of my problems and I left that meeting a little more "whole" than before, with a strong sense of peace about my relationship with Mike, and more importantly, my relationship with God. Mike and I met with Glenda together a few times after that and with Glenda's guidance and God's mercy we were able to make a huge turning point in our relationship. We just celebrated our one year wedding anniversary and are forever indebted to Glenda for the genuine care and wisdom she shared with us."

" I met Glenda at church, and soon after sought her for counseling to help me work through personal issues, as well as issues I have with my mother, and advice on my relationship with my fiancé. From our very first meeting, I felt more than comfortable to open up and go right into the messy challenges I was facing. Talking with Glenda is so peaceful, which eliminates any concern of judgement, or fear of vulnerability. 

 

Her experience and expertise is very evident, as she was able to guide me through some deep waters, in a very short time period. She is compassionate, authentic and fully invested in the people she works with, and I would strongly recommend her to anyone seeking counsel, guidance, or growth personally or relationally. "

"Since Glenda expertly coached us to maneuver through the landmines of parenting our stubborn teenager, we trusted her to brilliantly coach us through our transition into retirement. Glenda’s relaxed and confident style sets us at ease as she consistently guides us toward incredible, achievable solutions. Nothing seems to daunt her as she plunges into the heart of any matter we bring to her. We counseled with many other professionals, but it’s the “aha moments” when Glenda cuts to real issues that places her into a league of her own. She perceptively listens to assess our predicaments and then quickly offers suggestions or even step-by-step strategies. We look forward to our interactive, working sessions with Glenda that yield solutions we can often immediately and successfully implement. 

 

We feel comforted to know that Glenda will be there for us, so we can continue to benefit incredibly from her talents and skills as our trusted coach and counselor."

"I met Glenda in the early 1990's.  At that time,  I was struggling with many things including divorce, the death of my mother and most importantly my relationship with God.  I asked if she would be willing to meet with me and help me work through some of these struggles.  Little did I know that from this first meeting til today what a profound affect Glenda would have on my life.   She took time to work through my questions and doubts bringing me to a place of strength in my belief in the Bible and God while supporting me by providing ways to get through my losses.  Since that time, I have been so blessed to know I could turn to her for sound Christ centered guidance whenever I have needed it.  She has helped me to work through issues with friends, my husband, my children and many other dilemmas in between.   Glenda is so special in that she does not waver from the foundational truths scripture offers.   In her soft spoken supportive way, many times she has helped me to see these truths and encouraged me to follow them when another way out looked so much easier at the time.  I am so grateful for her God led counsel for the past 25 plus years.  My life and the lives of my husband, children and friends have been lifted up and made straight by the care and guidance she continues to offer."

Glenda has been a key influencer in my life for the past 22 years. We were both overseeing women’s ministries at different churches. I was new in my position and Glenda took me under her wing and poured life into me.  I can honestly say, that without Glenda’s mentoring and wise counsel, I would not still be in my current roll.   There were many times I called with a feeling of panic or discouragement, and Glenda’s patient and kind questions lead me to a place of clarity, confidence, and encouragement to keep moving forward.  There was one dark time when I was trying to sort through my identity –  the core of who I really was, and Glenda patiently peeled back layers that helped expose some lies that I had begun to believe about myself.  It was a pivotal point for me in my relationship with God, as well as in my professional life.  Glenda’s unique blend of discernment, life experience, professional training, and reliance on the Holy Spirit continue to have a profound impact in my life.
