Bio
Kathryn is a clinical psychologist with over 10 years of experience in eating disorders research and clinical care provision. Much of her research and professional career has been spent exploring exercise motivation among those with eating disorders. As a former college athlete, she knows that exercise can be a source of pride, but it can also get in the way of living a long, healthy life. She studies how we can leverage what we know about motivation to help people exercise in a way that is sustainable and consistent with their values.
Kathryn has worked in hospitals, primary care settings, college counseling centers, cardiac rehabilitation facilities; with young kids and older adults; in-person and online. The common through-line of her diverse clinical training has been helping people behave differently to live a meaningful life.
