Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Waldorf, MD

I am happily married and the proud father of six children! My passion includes Adolescent Counseling, Marriage and Couples Counseling, working through anxiety and depression issues and generally listening and providing solid techniques in conflict resolution of all types. I possess a Masters degree in Business (MBA) as well as a Masters Degree in Professional Counseling (focus on clinical psychology) so I believe I can help with financial matters as they may manifest to relational issues. I provide a safe and confidential environment in which to develop trust and confidence.

In my senior years, my wisdom is based more on my life's experiences than the advanced educational degrees. I do not judge; just listen and pose constructive ideas that may help in the therapeutic process. I embrace Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy: concentrating on how we think and how that affects our behavior.

Collaboration and shared decision-making are essential.

I work alongside clients to explore their goals, provide education, and develop treatment plans that align with their values and preferences. Pay close attention not just to what clients say, but how they say it—affect, behavior, and underlying themes.

I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner in Maryland with a background in both medication management and therapy — and I believe the best care happens when we tailor it to you. I specialize in anxiety, ADHD, and depression, and I work with patients who want a provider who actually listens before deciding anything. Many of the people I see found me through their community — they wanted someone they could trust, who'd take the time to get to know them. My approach is warm and direct: I'll tell you exactly what I'm thinking and make sure every session reflects where you are right now.

I specialize in telehealth (remote counseling) for individuals interested in change. My previous experience includes coordinating a Templeton funded mental health research lab while contributing to existing research projects. Clinically I am trained in Psychodynamic, Gestalt, Jungian, and Transpersonal psychotherapies.

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 years of nursing and mental health experience, I bring both expertise and compassion to my work. I help clients explore their thoughts and emotions while setting practical, achievable goals. I specialize in supporting people through anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Together, we’ll build insight, resilience, and meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.

As a psychotherapist for the last 15 years, I work with a general adult population primarily with mood disorders, adjustment related concerns, grief and loss and relational concerns.
