Katie is a Behavioral Health Technician who earned her master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Houston–Clear Lake. She has experience working with children and teens in both hospital and community mental health settings, including her time with pediatric patients at Shriners Children’s Texas. After working at the OCD Institute of Texas as a Residential Counselor, Katie discovered her passion for supporting individuals living with OCD and anxiety.

Katie takes a collaborative and compassionate approach to therapy, helping clients feel understood and empowered. She draws from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and mindfulness-based techniques to create individualized treatment plans for each client. Her goal is to provide a compassionate and practical approach that helps you reduce distress, challenge unhelpful patterns, and find relief.

Originally from Chicago, Katie moved to Arizona in 2022. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her husband and two children, reading thrillers, and tackling DIY woodworking projects around the house.
