Cut off and communism have a lot more in common than you may realize. Have you ever heard of the red guard? Look it up.

I'm excited to share the next chapter of my work.

For the past 17+ years, I've had the privilege of serving individuals, couples, and families as a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, professor, and speaker. Along the way, I've seen a growing need for practical education, coaching, and resources that complement traditional therapy.

That's why I've launched the **Family Connection Project**.

The Family Connection Project is a separate coaching and educational organization dedicated to helping parents, couples, and families navigate conflict, estrangement, communication, and reconciliation through coaching, courses, speaking, and evidence-informed resources such as more surveys for the public good.

While I remain an LMFT, this new organization allows me to expand my educational work, develop new resources, and pursue research that advances healthier family relationships.

Thank you for being part of this journey. I'm excited for what's ahead!

No responsibility often comes from no rite of passage. No rite of passage often means you do not see an adult. When you do not see an adult, you can’t often recognize with them as adults.

The job of an LMFT is to heal. Not to divide.

If you care about family relationships, reconciliation, estrangement, communication, and understanding why families sometimes break apart, I want to make you aware of an event I'll be attending this summer.

On July 31, I'll be attending The Family Summit in Chicago and hope you’ll join me there. I’m excited to have secured a reservation to attend and look forward to the experience.
You can learn more about The Family Summit in Chicago here. https://MendingSpaceRetreats.com

The Family Summit is bringing together decades of wisdom and experience from Dr. Joshua Coleman, Dr. Karl Pillemer, Dr. Kristina Scharp, and Michele Weiner-Davis, MSW. They will be joined by Matthias Barker, Rachel Haack, and Tania Khazaal. All of the speakers have bring a depth to the conversation around family estrangement and relationship challenges.

This will be a great opportunity to connect with others, meet the speakers, meet and connect with parents and adult children going through these difficult experiences, and spend time with people who care deeply about helping families build healthier relationships.

If you've ever felt alone in your family situation, if you join me there, my guess is you’ll leave feeling understood and with a much clearer sense of what helps relationships heal and what gets in the way.

For those who are can’t travel to Chicago, there is also a Virtual Summit Pass available.

Hope to see some of you there!

Intimate, therapist-guided retreats for parents and grandparents navigating estrangement. Find healing, connection, and hope.

What is your view of human nature? That one belief may shape how you think about personal responsibility, parenting, education, and even politics. Your answer influences what you expect from people—and what you believe they’re capable of becoming.

A response to some influencers who only blame the parents for causing the trauma, but never keep the kids accountable.
