Welcome!

I’m so glad you are here. My name is Dr. Jess, and I’m person behind Healing Grove Therapy Center. This space was created from my deep belief that healing happens in relationship—in the way we show up for others, and in the way we learn to show up for ourselves.

Many of the people I work with come to me after trying everything they know—reading the books, having the hard conversations, giving it time—but something still feels stuck. They’re tired of repeating the same patterns, no matter how much they care or how hard they try. That’s where I come in.

I help people slow down, get curious about what’s underneath the surface, and begin the work of healing with intention and support. I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, family systems work, and trauma-informed, culturally responsive care to support change that feels real and lasting.

In addition to my clinical work, I’m also a researcher and educator focused on the power of relationships—those we have with others, and those we carry within ourselves. I bring this passion and perspective into every session. I don’t just practice this work—I live it, study it, and hold it with care.

Whether you’re are navigating overwhelm, trying to reconnect, or hoping to shift old dynamics, you deserve a space where your story is honored and your healing is supported.

Healing Grove Therapy Center is that space.

Let’s walk this path together.
