Katie is a dual board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner. Originally from New England, she and her family made Purcellville their home in 2011. She is thrilled to be able to give back to her community by providing high quality psychiatric care here in our community.  

“I am dedicated to providing compassionate and personalized care to individuals of all ages. I believe in a holistic approach to mental health, taking into account not only the biological aspects but also the psychological, social, and environmental factors that contribute to your well-being. My goal is to work collaboratively with you to develop a treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and empowers you to live a fulfilling and balanced life.

I offer a comprehensive range of services, including psychiatric evaluation, testing, diagnosis, and medication management. I stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in psychiatric care and utilize evidence-based practices to ensure that you receive the highest quality of treatment. I work in collaboration with a licensed Psychiatrist in Virginia. Your well-being and comfort are my top priorities, and I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment where you can feel at ease discussing your concerns.

In addition to serving you within the walls of the practice, I am an active member of the Purcellville community. You may spot me in the grocery store or around town, and I encourage you to say hello if you do! Building strong connections with my patients is important to me, and I am here to support you not only during your appointments but also in your everyday life.

If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment, please do not hesitate to reach out. My team and I are here to assist you and ensure that you have a positive and empowering experience at Blue Ridge Behavioral Health. 

Once again, welcome to our practice! I am honored to be a part of your mental health journey and I am committed to providing you with the exceptional care and support you deserve on your journey to mental wellness.”
