“Graceful and Solution-Focused”
Connected Families offers graceful, solution-focused help for parents and families. We believe that every individual and family has elements of strength that can be built upon. Our goal is to discover and amplify these strengths while helping you find solutions that work. Just as each individual and family is unique, so are the solutions we help craft with each of our clients. We respectfully guide, direct, coach and counsel our clients into greater wholeness. Whether you’re looking for a little “tune up” for your marriage or parenting, you are in a crisis, or anywhere in between, we’re eager to offer help and hope! Ask about whether your insurance might cover our services.
Our staff specializes in marriage and family issues and has extensive experience working with teens and their parents.

Family Counseling
We recognize that where there are struggling children, there are usually hurting families. So we seek as much as possible to work with families together, offering hope and encouragement to traditional, blended, and single parent families.
