Is your child's behavior leaving you feeling defeated? 😔
The meltdowns over homework... The constant sibling fights... The morning routines that feel like going to war... The bedtimes that stretch on for HOURS...
Sound familiar?
Here's the truth: Your child isn't giving you a hard time—they're HAVING a hard time. And once you understand what's really going on, everything changes.
I'm opening up my calendar for a few FREE Connection Calls where we'll: 🎯 Dig into what's really driving the behaviors you're seeing 🎯 Identify the missing piece in your current approach 🎯 Map out a plan that actually fits YOUR family 🎯 See if working together makes sense for both of us
No pressure, no pitch—just real solutions for real families.
Ready for a conversation that could change everything?

A little about me... 💕
I'm Dr. Karen I'm on a mission to help parents raise compassionate, disciplined, and self-reliant humans—not just well-behaved kids who follow rules.
My passion? Teaching parents the tools they wish they'd learned years ago: self-regulation techniques, leadership skills, and communication strategies that actually work. And boundaries? Let's just say they're my love language 😊
Here's what I know: Parenting isn't about controlling our kids—it's about equipping them with the internal tools they need to thrive in the world.
When I'm not helping families, you'll find me:
🎾 On the tennis court (my therapy!)
🏈 Cheering loudly from the sidelines at my son's football games
💃 Watching my daughter light up the stage at dance recitals
🥾 Hiking Colorado trails with my oldest son (our best conversations happen on those mountains)
🀄Playing Mahjong
The truth? I'm not a perfect parent—I'm a learning parent, just like you. The difference is I've spent years studying what actually works, and I love sharing those tools with families who are ready to move from surviving to thriving.
Every family deserves to feel connected, confident, and calm. That's what I'm here to help you create.

When the waters rose in Kerrville, they didn’t just flood roads, homes, and parks—they disrupted lives. The recent flooding has tested our community’s strength in every way, from physical endurance to emotional fortitude. And yet, as the skies cleared and the river receded, something remarkable emerged: resilience.

The anxiety of rushing water where calm once lived.
The loss of irreplaceable memories.
The helplessness of watching nature undo what we’ve built.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure how to move forward, you are not alone. Healing after a natural disaster takes time. It's okay to not be okay. It’s okay to cry, to feel angry, or to feel numb. These are all valid responses to trauma.
But healing begins when we reach out—to friends, to support groups, to counselors, to faith, and to ourselves.
Finding Hope in the Aftermath
Every sandbag placed, every donation given, every hug shared has helped stitch our town back together.
Children’s laughter returning to the parks.
Local businesses reopening their doors.
Families finding temporary housing and rebuilding day by day.
These are the moments where resilience takes root.
How to Support or Seek Help
If you’re in a position to give, consider donating to local relief funds, volunteering with organizations like the Kerrville Crisis Response Team, or simply checking in on a neighbor.
If you need support, reach out. Free counseling services, hot meals, and emergency supplies are available. And more importantly, you deserve them.
🌿 Resilience doesn’t mean doing it all on your own—it means allowing yourself to be held when you can’t stand, and standing up again when you're ready.
