Meet Nurse Noelle!
I have had so many wonderful opportunities to serve this community throughout the years. I have a background in nursing, working with newborns, pediatrics, adults and seniors as a Registered Nurse and health coach.
Over the years, in whatever job or role l'm in, I strive to be a cheerleader and support system to all my clients, meeting people wherever they are in life. My hope is always that I can continue to love and minister to people in this community by being an inclusive, judgement free, safe place wherever I go, regardless of how my roles change.
I know walking into a therapy office can be scary. Please know that I’m not only happy to help answer your questions about appointments or billing, but I also genuinely care about how you are doing. My top priority is to create a sense of safety and belonging for every person I meet. In being one of the first people you encounter at Grove, I strive to set the tone for what we all believe here: You matter, and you deserve to take up space.
Outside of work, you’ll find me writing, reading, dancing, sipping (too much) coffee, enjoying poetry, spending time by the water, and cherishing moments with my son, partner, and three cats.
“The world needs who YOU were made to be.”
Better Care, Together.
Mental health care works best when you feel supported, heard, and part of the process. That’s what Vanessa and Noelle hope to bring to medication management at Grove.
Together, they combine psychiatric expertise with compassionate nursing support to create an experience that feels personal, collaborative, and connected. From your first questions and initial evaluation to ongoing medication management and follow-up care, their goal is to make sure you never feel like just another appointment.
And because medication management is part of the larger Grove community, your care doesn’t have to happen in isolation. When appropriate and with your permission, our medication management and therapy teams can work together to support the whole person.
Thoughtful care. Open communication. A team that knows your name.
