Connections Child and Family Center

We help overwhelmed & disconnected families move to feeling calm & connected. Therapy that WORKS. We also have an Outpatient Eating Disorders Program.

We are a boutique child, teen, and family focused group of healing professionals. We specialize in helping people with big feelings and big behaviors. Issues with mood, anxiety and stress, trauma recovery, eating disorders, and behavior problems often bring people to us. We offer a comprehensive DBT Program for teens and adults struggling with mood and self-harm. We believe families are doing the

best they can with what they know, and we help build on each person’s unique strengths. We do this by teaching coping tools, increasing emotional awareness, building empathy and compassion, and supporting understanding of self and others. Our team of experienced child psychologists and family counselors is dedicated to helping families in our community. We work with families in all their configurations; children, parents, women, couples, and siblings. We use the latest science & research based treatment approaches, combine them with expressive methods of play, art, or sand tray, & throw in some humor, playfulness, and support. We treat anxiety, ADHD, depression, autism, trauma, grief, self-esteem issues and more. We offer psychological testing to get an accurate diagnosis, group therapy, couples counseling, play therapy, nutrition evaluation and counseling, and family therapy. Let us help YOU build a life WORTH living.

Graduate Training 🎓
I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Sam Houston State University—Go Kats! 🐾 I completed my internship at the Montgomery County Women’s Center in The Woodlands, TX, and joined Connections in April 2024.

I draw from a variety of therapy approaches, including Solution-Focused
Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and the Gottman Method.

Have you ever felt that talking about mental health or seeking therapy was "not for us" in your community? In many diverse communities, there's still a stigma around seeking therapy, often due to cultural beliefs, historical mistrust, or simply a lack of open conversation. It doesn't have to be that way, healing is for everyone, and your mental well-being matters. 🌱

July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. This month we honor the legacy of Bebe Moore Campbell, an American novelist whose work featured issues on racism and mental health.

To our Texas community,

We are heartbroken by the devastation caused by the recent flooding in the hill country, and especially grieving the tragic and incomprehensible loss of children’s lives.

There are no words for the pain families are facing right now. As therapists who live and work in Texas, we are holding space for that grief, that shock, that ache that ripples through every parent, caregiver, and neighbor.

In times like this, it’s hard to know how to help or even how to begin healing. But please know, we are here.

💛 Our team of trauma-informed therapists is available to support children, teens, and families navigating the emotional aftermath of this disaster.
💬 Whether it’s processing grief, coping with fear, or creating a sense of safety again, we walk alongside you.
📍We offer both in-person and virtual sessions, with flexible options for those impacted.

If you or someone you know needs support, please reach out. You don’t have to carry this alone.

📞 281-210-6677

Let’s take care of each other.
Let’s hold space for the unimaginable.
Let’s keep showing up, for our children, for our families, and for our communities.

Parenting is a beautiful journey, yet we often overlook how parental burnout is a silent struggle for many. While it is not an uncommon experience, it is serious and can have lasting effects and repercussions on parents and families. If you are feeling exhausted and overwhelmed it is okay to acknowledge the struggle and seek support. Prioritizing your well-being isn't selfish, it's essential care. ❤️
