Are you frustrated from juggling the demands of caregiving in your family? Do you find yourself constantly overwhelmed, struggling with sleep, or battling persistent fatigue that seems to linger no matter how much rest you get? If you're experiencing mood swings, social withdrawal, or neglecting your own needs while prioritizing everyone else's, it may be time to seek support. I am currently a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor Intern, supervised by Stuart Young, LPC-S. I can see anyone in the state of Texas.
Sometimes we may not have the words. I can work with that. Our bodies will explain all. I offer Brainspotting and somatic/expressive arts for those times, if you are open to it. Let's work together to help you reclaim balance and find effective ways to manage your unique challenges without sacrificing anymore of your well-being.
I am fluent in tired, the universal language of the first-born (especially in immigrant families). That fatigue is often misunderstood. Someone taught you that your distress is a sign of how much you love. What would it look like for you to love others and still maintain your joy?

I will offer you multiple types of therapy as we work together. This is a partnership. Once you decide which one resonates with you the most, we will keep using that. There may be times where we do not speak much. We can use somatic exercises to process thoughts and memories buried so deep, we may not be able to explain them by talking.
