About Us

I earned my bachelor’s degree in nursing from Tennessee Tech University, where I met my wife, Tiffani. I completed my master’s degree with a specialization in psychiatric mental health from Walden University. My career began at Vanderbilt Psychiatric Hospital, where I worked on inpatient psychiatric units across the lifespan. I have also contributed to community mental health care at the Mental Health Cooperative in middle Tennessee, developing and implementing psychiatric treatment plans for individuals starting at age 5. My experience includes involvement in the MAT program and emergency psychiatric services, focusing on crisis diversion and detox protocols. I also have experience with the Nashville Brain Institute, specializing in holistic and organic psychiatric treatment, including Ketamine therapy, TMS, and supplementation protocols.

I received both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Tennessee Tech University, specializing in family medicine. However, my career has largely been in mental health settings. I began at Ten Broeck, an inpatient psychiatric hospital in Cookeville, before moving to Vanderbilt Wilson County Hospital Mcfarland campus. Most recently, I worked at the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs in Murfreesboro before taking time to care for our kids, Grayson and Haven. I’m excited to return to practice and help individuals become the best version of themselves. My passion lies in treating the whole person, recognizing the connection between physical and mental health, and improving both through diverse treatment modalities.

I am committed to delivering holistic, patient-centered care. My nursing journey began in 2017 with an Associate’s Degree in Nursing from Ocean County College, where I studied addiction counseling. I furthered my education by earning both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Nursing from Chamberlain University. Lizz has extensive experience in both inpatient psychiatric hospitalization and outpatient treatment settings, specializing in mood disorders, addiction recovery, and psychosis. My expertise allows me to develop comprehensive, individualized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs. I excel in one-on-one counseling, guiding individuals through the challenges of mental health and addiction recovery with compassionate, evidence-based care. In addition to traditional psychiatric interventions, I incorporate holistic approaches such as aromatherapy to support overall well-being and enhance therapeutic outcomes. My passion lies in empowering individuals to regain stability and improve their quality of life by addressing both their mental and physical health. By integrating conventional psychiatric care with holistic strategies, I strive to provide well-rounded, compassionate support to each patient on their journey to healing.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, comprehensive mental health care in a supportive environment. I believe that mental wellness is deeply connected to the whole person—mind, body, and lifestyle—and my goal is to partner with patients to create meaningful, sustainable change.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and went on to complete my Doctor of Nursing Practice at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. My nursing background includes experience across multiple areas of physical and mental health, with a special emphasis on trauma-informed care and thoughtful trauma assessments. This foundation allows me to address mental health concerns through an integrated approach that considers both medical and psychological factors.

My approach is patient-centered, with a strong focus on lifestyle modification, education, and access to resources that support long-term mental and physical wellness. I strive to create a safe, collaborative space where patients feel heard and respected. Whether you are seeking support for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, or life transitions, I am committed to walking alongside you with care to support your overall well-being.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Healthcare Administration and an MBA in Marketing from Cumberland University, which I am thrilled to apply in my current role. I am deeply committed to supporting mental health and ensuring that patients feel at ease during each visit. I take pride in maintaining an organized office environment and am always eager to explore new opportunities for learning and growth within the healthcare field. Outside of work, I cherish spending time with friends and family and enjoy traveling whenever possible. My goal is to ensure that every visit is welcoming and stress-free for our patients.
