Hope & Smiles Family Therapy

Welcome to Hope & Smiles Family Therapy. I’m Brenda, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. For many years, I have worked with children and families as they faced difficult changes, family stress, and emotional challenges. I understand that reaching out for help is not always easy, and you may not know where to begin. I work with children, teens, and adults who may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, sad, stuck, or unsure of what to do next. My goal is to provide a welcoming and down-to-earth space where you can talk openly without feeling judged. We will take things one step at a time, build on your strengths, and practice coping and communication skills that you can use outside of therapy. With children and teens, I use age-appropriate activities and play-based approaches to help them express feelings that may be difficult to put into words. Therapy is based on each person’s needs and comfort level. Services are available in English and Spanish.
