Hi, I’m Liz, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who believes mental health care should feel collaborative, personalized, and human. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, and neurodivergence and I strive to create a space where clients feel genuinely heard rather than judged or rushed.

My approach combines medication management with a holistic understanding of mental health, including nervous system regulation, lifestyle, relationships, physical health, and life experiences. Together, we focus on finding practical, sustainable strategies that help you feel more grounded, functional, and like yourself again.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with six years of experience helping adults navigate ADHD, mood disorders, anxiety, substance use concerns, and personality disorders. I trained at Vanderbilt University School of Nursing and have a background in neuroscience research, which shapes my practical, brain-based approach to care.

I believe people do best when they’re treated as whole humans—not just a diagnosis. I enjoy breaking down complex mental health concepts into clear, bite-sized explanations so patients understand why they feel the way they do and how treatment helps. My style is collaborative, direct, and supportive.

I’m comfortable working with complex or long-standing symptoms and don’t shy away from difficult cases. I also enjoy working with creatives in the Nashville community and understand the unique pressures that can come with creative work. My goal is to help patients feel empowered, informed, and supported as they move toward meaningful, sustainable change.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a OCD Therapist in Nashville, TN

Finding OCD therapists in Nashville starts with looking for care that matches how OCD is commonly supported. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is a widely used therapy approach for OCD, and not all therapists have specific training in it. If you’re looking for support with intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, anxiety, avoidance, or related stress, review therapist bios for OCD experience, ERP training, and approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy.

Nashville has many mental health care options, which can make it harder to tell whether a therapist is a strong fit for OCD-specific support. Some therapists list OCD as an area of familiarity, while others describe direct experience with ERP or anxiety and OCD therapy. That difference can matter when you compare options. Also consider appointment availability, whether virtual or in-person sessions fit your schedule, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles can help you understand how a therapist structures sessions and what kinds of concerns they work with most often.

Therapy in Nashville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find OCD therapists who are accepting new patients, review their specialties and bios, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can compare virtual and in-person options, check insurance fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
