- I have been a licensed psychologist since 2007. I have advanced training in eating disorders, PTSD, and suicide prevention. I also have knowledge and a great deal of experience in many different areas, including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, etc. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. I generally use behavioral, cognitive-behavioral (CBT) and interpersonal modalities in therapy. I was in private practice from 2007-2015 and then worked full-time for the Veterans' Administration (VA) for almost ten years. I have recently transitioned back to private practice. I have been doing only telehealth for the past five years. I must admit that I was skeptical about telehealth at first, but have been absolutely amazed at how effective it is.

Hi, I’m Dr. Katie. I'm a psychologist and recovering perfectionist. If your brain is constantly playing a highlight reel of everything you should be doing better, we’ll probably get along great!
I work with adults who are tired of being "bossed around" by anxiety, people-pleasing, body image, disordered eating, trauma responses, and self-doubt.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and occasionally very direct (when you need it.)
