As a Black, queer, neurodivergent clinician, I know I have a unique perspective when it comes to mental health and wellbeing. If you are looking for someone different, someone who will really listen to your concerns, and help you achieve your goals, don't look further. I am an integrative psychiatric provider, and I believe that mental health is a lot more than medications, but medications can also help! I am inclusive and enjoy working with a diverse group of individuals that struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, autism, and ADHD. I also enjoy working with "higher functioning" folx and professionals. *I see clients ages 16 -65 years old.*
I believe good mental health care starts with feeling heard and respected. My background in nursing has taught me to look at the whole person and consider how mental health, physical health, medications, and life experiences can all connect. I’m thoughtful and thorough in my approach, and I want my clients to feel comfortable asking questions, sharing concerns, and being themselves.

Hi! I'm a dual-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner, with 6 years working as an APRN with adults and children.

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 believe the best mental health care begins with trust, compassion, and open communication. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences without fear of judgment.

Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, mood changes, life transitions, trauma, ADHD, or simply feeling overwhelmed, we'll work together to develop a treatment plan that fits your goals, values, and lifestyle.
I take a collaborative approach to care, combining evidence-based medication management with supportive therapy, education, and practical coping strategies. I want my clients to understand not only what we're treating but why certain treatments may be beneficial, so they feel informed and involved in every decision.
With years of experience in psychiatric care across inpatient and outpatient settings, I've worked with individuals facing a wide range of mental health challenges.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Brentwood
Finding psychiatrists in Brentwood starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy and skills-based support. Medication management usually includes discussing symptoms, reviewing how a current care plan is working, and making updates when clinically appropriate. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or schizophrenia-related concerns, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties and clinical background before booking.
Brentwood is a smaller market, so local appointment options may be more limited than in nearby Nashville or Franklin. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still keeping care accessible from home. Psychiatric appointments, especially medication management visits, are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare profiles, look at appointment availability, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and how each psychiatrist describes their approach and communication style.
Psychiatric care in Brentwood can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your needs, verify your insurance, and see estimated costs upfront. Every psychiatrist listed is accepting new patients, and Headway helps confirm fit with your plan so you can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you are ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
