We Believe
Just as a grove of trees intertwines its roots to strengthen their foundation, children and families grow the same way: stronger together.​
​​
At The Grove, we believe children and families don’t need fixing—
they need understanding, support, and space to grow.
A Little About Me
Hi, I’m Sharon—and I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor (LAPC) with over 20 years of experience supporting children, young adults, and families. My journey into counseling grew out of my own parenting challenges and a powerful shift from discipline-focused parenting to connection-centered relationships.
I specialize in Child-Centered Play Therapy and I am passionate about creating a space of grace, safety, and acceptance where children and caregivers can heal and grow together. An Iowa native now happily rooted in Happy Valley, I am deeply committed to helping local families thrive.
