Frequently Asked Questions

Do you accept insurance?

Yes. I’m in-network with Aetna. However, I am working on getting credentialed with Cigna, Anthem (Carelon), and UnitedHealthcare/Optum. I also accept self-pay clients.

What if my insurance isn’t accepted?

I can provide a superbill you may submit for out-of-network reimbursement, or you can choose private pay.

How long are sessions?

Standard sessions are 50–60 minutes. Shorter or longer sessions can be arranged.

How often do we meet?

Most clients start weekly. Over time, we may shift to biweekly or monthly depending on your progress and goals.

How do I get started?

You can request a free 15-minute consultation by submitting your information here. You can also email me.

What issues do you help with?

I specialize in anxiety, trauma, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, and building self-love through holistic and evidence-based approaches.

Do you see clients in person or online?

I offer virtual therapy sessions for clients based in Virginia and life coaching for clients in other states, including Hawaii.

What’s the difference between therapy and life coaching?

Therapy helps address mental health concerns (like trauma or anxiety) with evidence-based counseling. Life coaching focuses on personal growth, motivation, and future goals, and is available across state lines. However, it’s important to note, that life coaching is not covered by insurance.

What does holistic therapy mean?

I integrate mind, body, and spirit in healing. That might include mindfulness, journaling, breath work, spirituality, or self-care alongside counseling.

Do you incorporate culture and spirituality into therapy?

Absolutely. As a Filipino American, I value multicultural perspectives and believe therapy should honor your identity and beliefs.
