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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Nashville, TN
Searching for therapists in Nashville starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Nashville has a broad mental health community across areas like East Nashville, Midtown, Green Hills, and nearby suburbs, so it helps to narrow your options by need first. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or life transitions. As you compare Nashville therapists, look for specialties, therapy approaches, and population experience that fit your goals, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling.
In a major metro area like Nashville, having many options can make the search feel harder to sort through. Practical factors can help you decide which therapist is a usable match. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions near your home, work, or campus, or virtual appointments that fit more easily into your schedule. You can also compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, free phone consultation options, and session style. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist communicates, what they focus on, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Nashville can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between in-person and virtual appointments. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage available in Nashville. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
