Katie Burns

Are you exhausted by intrusive thoughts, compulsions, food and body rules, or feeling like anxiety is running your life? Maybe you understand intellectually that your thoughts aren't helpful, but still feel pulled to check, seek reassurance, avoid, overthink, or follow rigid rules just to feel okay or certain. I specialize in OCD and eating disorder treatment, including the complex ways these concerns can overlap. I work with teens and adults caught in cycles of fear, rigidity, and perfectionism, where attempts to gain control or certainty can gradually take up more and more of your life.
My goal isn't simply to help you feel less anxious in the moment, it's to help you build a life that isn't organized around fear, rules, rituals. We focus on prioritizing what really matters to you. I use ERP, ACT, CBT, and DBT, tailoring treatment to your needs while keeping therapy collaborative, compassionate, and focused on meaningful change.
Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming and may add to the anxiety you’re already experiencing. Whether this is your first time in therapy, you’ve tried everything, or you’re not even sure where to start, you don’t have to have it all figured out. I hope to provide an experience that feels uniquely yours. Reach out to see if we're a good fit.
