Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Garden Grove, CA

I know how heavy life can feel when you’re carrying pain, uncertainty, or self-doubt. But I believe, as a wise old wizard once said, “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of places, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” My role is to help you find that light again. I work with Gen Z and Millennial adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and more. Through integrative, culturally responsive care, I combine evidence-based psychiatry with holistic strategies to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered to create a life that aligns with your true self.

Whether you're carrying your own weight or watching your teenager carry theirs, there comes a point where pushing through on your own stops working. I'm Liz, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than a decade in mental health, including six years as a clinician at a nonprofit working alongside young people through some of their hardest moments. I work with both adolescents and adults navigating trauma, relationship strain, and the kind of stress that quietly takes over your whole life. Clients often describe me as warm, genuine, and easy to open up to.

I believe that meaningful mental health care starts with trust, compassion, and genuine connection. Over the past 15 years, I have worked across a variety of healthcare settings, including trauma nursing, emergency nursing, and nurse leadership roles, caring for individuals and families during some of life's most challenging moments. These experiences have reinforced my belief that every person deserves to be treated with dignity, empathy, and respect.

My commitment to mental health care is also shaped by personal experience. Like many people, I have witnessed the impact of mental health challenges in my own life and among loved ones, which has deepened my understanding of the courage it takes to seek help. I strive to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where clients feel comfortable discussing difficult thoughts, emotions, and life experiences.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-C) providing compassionate, evidence-based care through telehealth. My background includes experience in emergency care and mental health treatment. I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma-related conditions, and mood disorders. I take a collaborative and supportive approach and work closely with clients to develop personalized treatment plans focused on improving emotional well-being.

Hi, I’m Rosekate, a Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner. My goal is to partner with you to achieve your highest level of health and well-being.

What should you know about me?

"Above all else, I want you to know that I am here to truly listen to you."

In today's fast-paced healthcare environment, it is easy to feel like just another symptom or a number on a chart. My practice is built on a foundation of deep empathy and active listening. I believe that you are the expert on your own body, and my job is to provide a safe, judgment-free space where you feel genuinely heard, validated, and respected.

I have been on my own healing journey for 40+ years and so I know personally how much courage and effort it can take to heal and grow. I also know how amazing life and relationships can get as a part of that healing process; I wish that experience for everyone.
