As a therapist, I am someone who embarked on a unique journey that shaped my path in psychology. After serving in the army, I found a deep passion for understanding the human mind and behavior. This newfound love led me to pursue further education and training in psychology, ultimately guiding me towards specializing in marriage and family therapy. My own experiences of building and nurturing a family have influenced my focus on helping couples and families thrive. I understand the dynamics and complexities that arise within intimate relationships and the importance of fostering healthy connections. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals, couples, and families can explore their emotions, conflicts, and challenges. Having worked in the field for five years, I have gained valuable experience and expertise in helping clients navigate their relationship dynamics and personal growth. I am committed to normalizing emotions, recognizing that experiencing a range of emotions is a natural and essential part of the human experience. My approach is centered around placing well-being as a priority. I believe that when individuals prioritize their own mental and emotional health, they are better equipped to cultivate healthy and fulfilling relationships. I work collaboratively with clients, empowering them to gain self-awareness, develop effective communication skills, and implement strategies that support their overall well-being. Through therapy, my intention is to support clients in fostering stronger connections, resolving conflicts, and achieving personal and relational growth. I am passionate about helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges, providing them with the tools and support they need to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives.

Hi there, and welcome! I’m Jennifer, a licensed therapist and certified eating disorder specialist with over a decade of experience in the mental health field. Supporting individuals on their journey to healing and self-discovery is my passion, and I’m honored to walk alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges. I graduated from Cal State Fullerton in 2014 with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Minor in Queer Studies. I later returned to Cal State Fullerton to receive my master’s degree in Counseling and graduated in 2018. Most recently I completed a PsyD in Marital and Family Therapy from The Chicago School in 2024. My journey to becoming a therapist is deeply personal and shaped by my lived experience as a BIPOC woman who was adopted. Growing up navigating questions of identity, belonging, and connection, I developed a profound understanding of the complexities that come with these experiences. These challenges ignited my passion for supporting others in their healing journeys. I understand how powerful it can be to feel seen and heard, and that drives my commitment to creating a safe, affirming space for those I work with.

Welcome and thanks for stopping in. My name is Kristy, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and my pronouns are she/her/hers. My ancestry is both Native American and northern European. I have been working with young people since 2013 and I have seen how overwhelming life can feel these days. There are so many pressures in school, at home, with your peers and in society at large! Have you been feeling stressed, anxious, and/or worried about your future? Perhaps you feel consumed with thoughts about how you compare to others and what others think of you? Is your mind full of racing thoughts about how you just might not be good enough? Or perhaps there is a relentless inner critic that won't let you off the hook? I know how this feels because I have been there myself and I can tell you it does not have to be this way. You can learn to develop a different kind of relationship with yourself: One in which you can learn how the mind works & how to navigate its unhelpful & painful patterns more effectively; one in which you can discover how to approach yourself with kindness & support--the way you would a good friend in pain; one in which you uncover your strengths, gifts & values and allow this self-knowledge to help you make decisions in your life of which you feel proud. PARENTS: Are you in a place where you are ready to dive deeper into your own unconscious patterns that are affecting the way you parent? Do you ever think that you do not want to do some of the same ineffective things with your children that your parents did with you, but find it hard to stop? I am here for you too.

I am trained in cognitive-behavioral therapy, applied behavioral analysis, neuropsychology, and psychoanalysis. My interventions tend to be inclusive and can involve one, or all of these methods depending upon what would be most beneficial for you. The fields of humanistic and Adlerian psychology have also greatly influenced my approach as a therapist. As a result, when I am asked what my theoretical orientation is, I identify myself as “eclectic.” My experience has taught me that there is no singular “best” approach. Only what would be best for the individual seeking help. The benefit of my diversified training is that I am able to cater my interventions to meet your unique and specific needs.

I received my masters in 2015 and decided to take a step further and obtain my PhD in marriage and family therapy, with an emphasis on military families. I am currently a PhD candidate a Northcentral university where I am within the process of completing research on military relationships. I am a certified clinical trauma professional, trained in Sex-trafficking, Post traumatic stress, CBT, DBT as well as clinical family trauma.

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 insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available 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.
