Great to meet you!

Hi there, I’m Elizabeth, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than five years of experience supporting adults 18 and older. I went into psychiatry because I saw how deeply mental health and overall health are connected, and I knew I wanted to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. I’m honored to walk alongside my clients as they move toward healing, growth, and greater wellness.

My approach to therapy

I approach treatment with warmth, curiosity, and genuine partnership. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, trauma, stress-related disorders, and more through thoughtful psychiatric assessments, medication management, and personalized care. My clients often tell me I’m a great listener and one of their biggest supporters, and that’s exactly how I want you to feel because I will always be in your corner.

What you can expect from me

In our first sessions, you can expect a supportive space where I take time to really get to know you, your story, and what brought you in. We’ll talk through your symptoms, goals, and concerns so we can build a treatment plan that feels tailored to your needs and realistic for your life. My hope is that you leave feeling heard, understood, and encouraged about what comes next. If you’re ready to take that first step, I’d be honored to support you on your journey.
