About me
Kathryn moved to Oregon from Minnesota when she was a child. Growing up, she was very active in equestrian sports, competing with her horses in a variety of disciplines.
As an occupational therapist, Kathryn specializes in serving individuals with vision loss. She works with patients to evaluate the functional impacts that their low vision has on their daily lives and works with them to help mitigate those impacts and make the most of their remaining vision, through accommodations, modifications, and adaptive strategies.
Kathryn is passionate about helping those with low vision. She brings a unique perspective to her work as she has low vision herself and has been a long-time patient of Casey Eye Institute.
In her spare time, Kathryn enjoys riding horses with her husband, Steve, and taking walks with her guide dog, Nabisco.

Insurance
Before scheduling an appointment
- Check your network. If you have health insurance, call your company to find out if the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is part of your network.
- Ask what you will pay. Your insurance company can tell you what your costs are likely to be.
If you schedule an appointment and your health insurance does not include OHSU Health, you may have to pay more than if you go to a provider in your insurance network.
