Dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 27 years of healthcare experience.
Bruised Not Broken Therapy was born out of the lack of Afrocentric based psychotherapy that allowed people of color to embrace their journey of life through the context of color. HIV, substance abuse, mental health and the denial of the experience of being a person of color continues to plague communities of color, as we still have yet to talk about these experiences.
Welcome! I’m honored you’re considering care. I’m a doctorally prepared Nurse Practitioner with dual board certification in Adult-Gerontology Acute Care and Primary Mental Health. As a former first responder, I bring firsthand understanding of the unique stressors faced by those in high-intensity roles. I take a trauma-informed, person-centered approach to care. I specialize in working with individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes, including first responders and members of the LGBTQ+ community. My goal is to create a safe, affirming space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to take steps toward healing.
Hi there, my name is Liz, and I am a therapist who specializes in trauma, grief, adjustment, depression, relationship struggles, neurodivergence, adapting to chronic or terminal illness changes, men's issues, and women's issues. I value creating a space to allow you to process safely and openly. In the past, I have enjoyed working with all ages, but I currently only work with clients 15+. I look forward to connecting with you!
I enjoy taking a person centered, strength based approach to therapy. I like to spend time getting to know my clients, their view of the world, and the experiences that have shaped them. On the surface, substance use has been my speciality, but I find that substance use is typically secondary to underlying mental health or trauma related concerns. Because of that, I have experience in a wide range of concerns and practice with varying approaches suited to meet the individual client's needs.
I use a collaborative, holistic, and culturally aware approach to support clients in achieving their mental health and personal goals. With an educational background from Tufts University and the University of Denver, I specialize in helping individuals, partners, caregivers, and families navigate life's challenges using evidence-based methods, creating a space for growth and healing for clients of all backgrounds.
