About Dr. Kara

Marriage and motherhood have been my most daring, humbling adventures.

Hi! I'm Dr. Kara - a wife, mom of 3, and an award-winning relationship coach. For more than a decade, couples have let me peek behind the curtain into their relationships to offer encouragement and guidance.

With a PhD in family studies and a master's in dispute resolution, I love people, understanding how they tick, and observing how they interact and influence each other.

I've been a relationship blogger for Psychology Today and have been featured in outlets like Brides and the DFWChild podcast.

My goal is to blend science-backed skills with humor and straight talk - to make relationship research "doable" for your real life.

Showing up well for our people is probably the hardest, most important work we'll ever do.

I hope you'll find tips, insights, and resources here to encourage you in the relationships that matter most.

-Kara
