Social Constructionist Therapists in Frisco, TX

You understand what’s going on, but your body didn’t get the memo. You may feel stuck in patterns of pain, shutdown, or overwhelm that don’t match what you know. I work with individuals (ages 16+) navigating chronic pain, trauma, dissociation, and long-standing stress. Many of the people I work with have already done a lot of thinking about themselves or tried therapy before, but still feel caught in how their body continues to respond. I help bridge the gap between insight and embodied change. Together, we focus on understanding how these patterns live in both the mind and body, using approaches that support nervous system regulation, processing of unresolved experiences, and increased connection to your internal signals. Through this work, clients often begin to experience shifts not just in how they think, but in how they feel and respond on a day-to-day level.

Therapy can offer a space to better understand yourself and the experiences that have shaped you. I help adults make sense of trauma, neurodivergence, burnout, identity, and life transitions by understanding their experiences within the context of their relationships, environments, and the systems they have navigated. Together, we'll build practical skills, deepen self-understanding, and create meaningful, lasting change in a compassionate, collaborative space.

I view therapy as a collaborative interaction in service of understanding the best forms of quality human relating. My approach to therapy is primarily guided by Coherence Therapy. Coherence Therapy is an approach to treatment that is different from many others in that - instead of focusing on what is "negative" or "wrong" and trying to change or alter it - the purpose is to genuinely understand a person's symptoms; to curiously explore why maintaining certain patterns of thinking and behavior is emotionally necessary, even when a person is feeling stuck because of those patterns. Understanding the symptom leads to identifying the underlying emotional reasons of why we do things and addresses the cause of feeling stuck, not just the symptom, which leads to meaningful and lasting changes.

At Vada Counseling, all of our therapists are queer and/or trans, and we bring that lived experience into every session. We understand the realities you’re navigating, and you won't have to explain, defend, or translate your identity or experiences. Our work is grounded in liberation, cultural humility, and care that rejects pathologizing frameworks. We focus on collaborative, transparent therapy where consent, autonomy, and shared power lead the way. Clients come to us when they want support that recognizes trauma, identity, and systemic harm without losing sight of individual strengths and self-determination. If you’re looking for care rooted in decolonizing and anti-carceral values, Vada Counseling offers a space where you can simply be, and be understood.

New clients can start in late October 2026. I currently have limited openings for discounted fees. For those using insurance, I am only in-network with United and Optum plans. I offer clients time and space to be heard with open-minded compassion & decades of experience.

Frisco is one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States, an exceptionally affluent Dallas-area suburb in Collin County whose rapid expansion has attracted families and high-earning professionals from across the country, and whose mental health landscape is shaped by the particular pressures of high-achievement suburban culture—perfectionism, status anxiety, and the intense demands placed on both parents and children in a community that prizes academic and professional success. A growing private therapy sector has developed alongside the city's expansion, with many practitioners specializing in adolescent mental health, anxiety, and the relational strains of high-performance family life. The proximity of Dallas's much larger therapy market and the widespread availability of telehealth give Frisco residents access to a wide range of specialties. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, parenting stress, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and the identity challenges that arise when a fast-growing community is still defining its own character.
