Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Phoenix, AZ

I provide compassionate, comprehensive mental health care tailored to teens and families navigating complex mental health challenges. As a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP), I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, OCD, mood disorders, and ADHD through integrative psychiatry and medication management.

Hi, I’m Kathryn, a board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner providing virtual psychiatric evaluations and medication management to adolescents ages 13–17, adults, and older adults throughout Arizona. I work with anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, sleep concerns, trauma-related symptoms, PTSD, panic symptoms, and mood disorders.

Before becoming a nurse practitioner, I spent more than 14 years in nursing, including inpatient psychiatry, psychiatric crisis care, medical-surgical nursing, and neurology. I offer appointments on Tuesdays, Friday evenings, Saturdays, and Sundays, with early-morning, daytime, and evening availability. Same-day appointments may sometimes be available.

I work with teenagers and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and body-related concerns. I believe that mental health is deeply connected to the body, and that lasting healing happens when we care for both. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and integrative, recognizing that each person's experiences, strengths, and goals are unique.

Living with my own long-term health challenges has shaped the way I practice. It has strengthened my belief that our emotional and physical well-being are inseparable and has deepened my commitment to helping others find meaningful, sustainable paths toward healing.

I strive to create a safe, inclusive, and affirming space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. I welcome people of all genders, identities, backgrounds, and lived experiences, and I tailor treatment to meet your individual needs and values.

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner with a background in Anthropology, which informs my appreciation for the biological, psychological, social, and cultural factors that influence mental health. I completed a fellowship in Integrative Reproductive Mental Healthcare and am currently pursuing advanced fellowship training in Nutritional Psychiatry and Ketamine-Assisted Therapy. I have also trained in gender-affirming care and am committed to providing evidence-based, inclusive care that honors each person's unique journey.

There is always hope. Your past does not have to define you or dictate your future. I believe therapy can create space for healing, growth, and deeper joy.

I specialize in helping clients work through trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, attachment wounds, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the experiences that may leave them feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves.

I have been a Mental Health Therapist for 32 years working with Children, Adolescents and Adults.

I have spent over 40 years teaching, training, and developing mental health programs for individuals from 4 to 84 find hope once again. I am a life-long learner and add at least one certificate a year to ensure clients are given multiple approaches to what they encounter. I am very honest and direct, but also understand the need for pause and reflection. You know the level of your pain and suffering. My job is to meet you where you are and lead you to the place you want to go.
