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.

With over a decade of experience in the healthcare field, I bring a strong foundation of clinical expertise and compassionate care. For eight years, I worked as a Med-Surg nurse, travel nurse, and cardiac nurse, gaining diverse experience across high-acuity settings and patient populations. The variety of roles allowed me to develop adaptability, resilience, and a deep understanding of both acute and chronic health conditions. It also allowed me to see the role mental health plays and the importance it holds.

For the past two years, I have been practicing as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), where I’ve focused on providing holistic, patient-centered care that addresses both mental and physical health.

This blend of medical-surgical and psychiatric experience equips me with a comprehensive perspective on patient care, allowing me to treat the whole person—not just the diagnosis.
