Katherine ("Kibby") is a postdoctoral associate at Duke University, working with Dr. Zach Rosenthal in the Cognitive Behavioral Research and Therapy Program and Center for Misophonia and Emotion Regulation. She recently completed her PhD at Duke University and her predoctoral clinical psychology internship at Weill Cornell/NY Presbyterian Hospital. She is interested in the science and practice of treating emotional and relational difficulties. In her clinical work, she treats adults with individual psychotherapy and leads group workshops on mindfulness and social-emotional skills. 
​

Her research addresses such questions as:
1. Can learning how to manage difficult emotions improve our relationships and social skills?
2. How can we predict and prevent chronic interpersonal issues, such as personality disorders or intimate partner violence?
