I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 11 years of healthcare experience. Before specializing in psychiatry, I worked in the Burn ICU and outpatient procedural settings, where I learned the importance of caring for the whole person during some of life’s most difficult moments. I earned my nursing degree from UNC Chapel Hill and my Master of Science in Nursing from Frontier Nursing University. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, and especially enjoy helping people navigate ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes—like school, relationships, career stress, or grief—that can leave us feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

Hi, I’m Liz! I help clients heal from past trauma and uncover the root of what’s keeping them feeling stuck. Trauma can shape the way you see yourself, others, and the world—often showing up as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or difficulty setting healthy boundaries.

My work focuses on addressing these deeper patterns to support lasting healing and meaningful personal growth. For those who desire it, I also offer the option to integrate Christian faith into the counseling process.

I believe therapy should not only be effective but also feel human and approachable. We’ll roll up our sleeves and do the work together, while also making space for moments of lightness along the way.

I help adolescents and adults who feel weighed down by trauma, anxiety, or depression—whether that comes from childhood abuse, military experiences, or the impact of a narcissistic parent, ex, or partner. I know how isolating that can be. In our work together, my priority is helping you feel truly seen, heard, and understood in a safe, confidential space where you can show up exactly as you are.

I earned my Master of Science Degrees in School Counseling and Clinical Mental Health Counseling, as well as a Master's level certificate in Marriage and Family Counseling from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in 2017. I use an eclectic therapeutic approach which is tailored to the individual needs of each client. I believe that counseling is a fundamental tool that we should all have access to. It is important for everyone to have the necessary tools to cope, manage, and work through life’s challenges. As long as you are willing to do the work, nothing is impossible.

Therapist

If you're carrying anxiety, grief, past trauma, or a complicated relationship with substances, and you're not sure where to start, you've found the right place. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors through depression, family conflict, PTSD, domestic violence, and stress that never seems to let up. My path into counseling started in Wayne County schools, working with young people who needed someone genuinely in their corner. That experience planted something I've carried through every role since: people don't need to have it figured out before they ask for help. I went on to work in higher education and community mental health, and I'm especially committed to clients who haven't always felt welcomed or seen in traditional mental health spaces.
