Katy was raised in Boise, Idaho and her first patient care employement was at the Idaho Elks Rehab Hospital as a bath aid. She attended undergraduate school in Helena, Montana. She received a bachelor of arts in nursing and graduated magna cum laude. Katy served as a nurse in an orthopedic/neurosurgery unit, surgical intensive care unit and in St. Luke’s pilot electronic intensive care program. Katy later pursued her masters of science in nursing at Idaho State University and began her nurse practitioner career in diabetes management.  

As her passion for diabetes management grew, so did her interest in weight management, as she realized that her patients had little support in changing their health and reversing their diseases.  

Katy opened Treasure Valley Metabolic Medicine in January of 2020 and she has been using her 20 years of patient care experience to drive her approach to care. Focusing on the biochemical and physiological processes within the body are the keys to her patients’ success.
