I’m Brenda, a psychologist who’s been working in Houston and across Texas for more than fifteen years. My focus is on helping people through the hard stretches—stress that won’t let up, changing relationships, and all the transitions that can leave you feeling unsettled or isolated. My approach is straightforward and practical. I believe in building real connections, where you can show up as you are and talk honestly about what's been happening and how you feel. I offer therapy in both English and Spanish, and welcome adults from all walks of life. If you’re ready for honest support—not just advice, but real tools to help you move forward—let’s talk.
