Her goal is to build a collaborative therapeutic relationship where clients feel comfortable exploring their experiences while working toward meaningful growth and healing.

Glory earned both her Bachelor of Social Work and Master of Social Work from the University of South Florida. Throughout her career, she has gained experience in both medical social work and school social work, supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families through a variety of emotional and life challenges. These experiences have strengthened her ability to meet clients where they are and provide individualized care that reflects their unique needs and goals.

Glory works with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, neurodiversity, life transitions, and everyday stressors.

Clients often describe Glory as warm, supportive, collaborative, and easy to talk to. She strives to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel respected, understood, and encouraged throughout the therapeutic process.
