Meet Your Care Team
Hi, I’m Keleigh, a doctorally prepared, Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in integrative mental health care for teens and adults. My practice blends evidence-based psychiatry and medication management with holistic, whole-person approaches to support individuals and families just like you, as you navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, mood swings, professional demands, relationship challenges, and parenting stress.
Many of the people I support come in feeling burnt out, emotionally drained, scattered, or disconnected from themselves. Some are struggling with balancing parenting, partnership, and professional demands. Others are adjusting to new roles, relationship changes, or life stages and want to feel more grounded, clear, and steady again.
With over 14 years of healthcare experience I understand the interconnectedness of a patient's environment, emotions, culture, physical health, spiritual beliefs, and relationships. I work collaboratively with patients to explore factors such as sleep, nutrition, stress patterns, inner dialogue, communication dynamics, lifestyle habits, and spiritual or cultural values—ensuring treatment plans reflect the full picture of your life, not just your symptoms.
Through a compassionate, holistic, and relationship-centered approach, I provide a unique environment which will guide you towards improved emotional stability, healthier communication, resilience, and overall well-being—empowering you to lead a more grounded and intentional life.
