About me
At Connected Treasures Child and Family Counseling Services, we believe healing happens in relationship — through connection, safety, and hope.
Our mission is to help children, teens, and caregivers break cycles of pain and create new patterns of trust, joy, and belonging.
We specialize in supporting families who have walked hard roads — those touched by trauma, adoption, foster care, or intergenerational adversity. Many of the parents and caregivers who come to us are determined to do things differently than what they experienced growing up. They want to understand their child’s behaviors, build stronger connections, and find tools that actually work when traditional approaches fall short.
Our team provides neuroscience-driven, attachment-based care that goes beyond symptom management. We help children and teens who are struggling with anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, or the pain of bullying — and we walk alongside caregivers who are navigating exhaustion, guilt, and the desire to help their children feel safe and seen.
Whether you’re an adoptive or foster parent, a biological caregiver trying to heal your own story, or a young person learning to trust again — you belong here. We offer a safe, compassionate space where every family is met with curiosity, not judgment; where behaviors are seen as communication; and where healing becomes possible, one connection at a time.
Because at Connected Treasures, we know that the treasure is in the connection — and together, we can uncover it.
