Common Questions
Is online therapy as effective as meeting in person?
Yes. Clinical research consistently shows that telehealth is just as effective as traditional in-office therapy. For high-functioning individuals with demanding schedules, the virtual format eliminates the stress of commuting while maintaining the same depth of connection and therapeutic safety.
Do you take Insurance?
I am an out-of-network provider. That means I answer to your clinical needs rather than to what a plan will authorize, and it means our work is not limited by session caps, diagnosis requirements, or a reviewer deciding you are well enough to stop.
Most of my clients use out-of-network benefits. If your plan reimburses, I submit the claims for you rather than handing you a superbill and leaving you to chase it. Reimbursement rates vary considerably by plan, and I will walk through what yours actually looks like on our consultation call so you know what you are working with before you commit to anything.
What states are you currently licensed to provide therapy in?
I am licensed to provide clinical therapy to residents of New York, Virginia, and Utah. For clients residing elsewhere, I offer professional Life Coaching, which functions under a different framework focused on goal-setting and strategy rather than clinical mental health diagnosis.
Do you offer sessions in Spanish?
SÃ. As a bilingual therapist, I offer full sessions in Spanish or a bilingual 'Spanglish' format. I believe healing is more profound when you can speak the language of your heart, culture, and family without having to pause for translation.
It means we acknowledge that your 'anxiety' or 'burnout' doesn't exist in a vacuum. We look at how systemic oppression, cultural expectations, and societal pressures impact your well-being. This is an anti-oppressive space where your identity is celebrated, not pathologized.
Additional Questions
What is life coaching and how is it different from therapy?
Life coaching focuses on action, goal-setting, and forward movement. Unlike therapy, which addresses clinical concerns like anxiety or depression, coaching is designed for individuals seeking structured support through personal growth, professional transitions, or goal alignment. Think of it as your accountability partner with a plan.
How much does life coaching cost?
A single coaching session is 60 minutes at $375. I also offer a 4-session package for $1,200, an 8-session package for $2,200, and a 15-session Deep Work package for $3,750. Coaching is not covered by insurance and is not eligible for reimbursement.
How do I know if I need therapy or coaching?
If you're dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, or burnout, therapy is likely the better fit. If you're in a stable place but feel stuck in a career transition, want accountability toward specific goals, or need help mapping out your next chapter, coaching is for you. Not sure?
