Hi! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing services in Florida and California. I graduated from Pace University and have been practicing as a clinician for 24 years. I am a strengths-based clinician with extensive training and experience in cognitive behavioral therapy. The decision to seek therapy can be hard and intimidating. My goal is to provide a space for exploration, reflection and change.

What I have learned about pain is this: it does not have to stay. This practice is private, because our work is sacred; truly, no one understands your pain the way you do. I will always remain a safe space to help shift that agony toward ease. Welcome. Any rating on this page is a reflection of a HIPPA violation left without reparations by the state of California and the Federal Government; it is not an accurate depiction of me but rather, my identity having been stolen after it was sold to the dark web after I experienced a break in via city wide attack given I am allied with the Queer community, the Immigrant community, the Black & Asian community, and the Single Mother Community. Additionally, I am Jewish. Please disregard.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by California rather than a city like LA?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across California from San Francisco to San Diego! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in California.

Will my therapist take Kern Family Health Care - Medi-Cal?

Yes! If you use Kern Family Health Care - Medi-Cal you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Kern Family Health Care - Medi-Cal you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
