hi!
I am Dr. Glenna.
​
I’m a licensed Clinical Social worker and for as long as I can remember I’ve been invested in helping people! I believe that no matter your station in life, what you’ve gone through or what you’re going through, the key to living an amazing life is built on a foundation of self awareness and understanding. And it’s my job to help you find it!

ABOUT
When I was a kid, I often got in trouble for being too loud with asking questions and calling adults out on things that didn’t seem fair to me. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been an advocate of some kind. A career in social work, then, made total sense to me when I discovered the field as an undergraduate at San Jose State.
Two more degrees and a license later, I still carry the spirit of that little girl, fighting for the underserved. I have a long history of diagnosing and treating adults with severe and chronic mental illness. I take my work very seriously and it’s important to me to help my clients heal, grow, and thrive. My clients seek my services as a way to recuperate from lifetimes of overworking themselves into worthiness. I guide them toward unlearning the things that taught them they weren’t enough. I give them the tools they need to create wellness and wholeness in a way that’s unique to who they are.
Through my private practice and my brand, Therapy is a Lifestyle, I want to help you see yourself in new ways - without the lens of your trauma. I specialize in anxiety disorders, EMDR, and other trauma-informed approaches to help you do that.
Let’s take the journey toward your recovery, together. Being here is your first step!
When it comes to your mental health, I make no compromise. I understand that stress and anxiety can breed chaos, confusion, conflict and most importantly can strip you of the joy of living. My role in the mental health community is to address these issues with evidence based, client centered, easy to implement restorative practices. As such, I offer services specifically designed to help you unpack your fears, anxieties and confusion, connect the dots, and gain the clarity needed to take care of your most valuable resource- you!
Recently, I have expanded my services to include public speaking, small group training and specialized content curation. My goal in doing so is to transfer the knowledge gained through education and experience into practical tips for self-improvement to wider audiences. My hope is for everyone I encounter to walk away knowing two things: One, there is too much information in the world for anyone to have to struggle, and two, everyone has the capacity to experience amazing change, with the right tools and support.
What I know for sure is that my life’s journey is steadfastly connected to helping others pursue theirs, in the happiest and healthiest way possible. I believe that no matter what your obstacles, you have the power to change your life. My commitment to you is to be there every step of the way.
