Hello! My name is Leigh, and I'm a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.

I believe in providing compassionate care to individuals at pivotal moments in their lives. I work with adults between the ages of 21-65, capable of independent decision-making, and seeking to embark on a journey of self-discovery. While I value the input of your support system, my focus remains firmly on understanding your unique aspirations and tailoring your therapy to meet your goals.

Those who possess insight, a spiritual inclination, and a desire for guidance as they stand at the crossroads of change feel most aligned with me and my practice. Whether you are contemplating a new direction in your career, relationships, or personal growth, I’m here to support your exploration and empower you to take charge of your well-being. Embracing self-care does not mean neglecting others but recognizing that nurturing oneself is essential before extending that care to others. If you are ready to prioritize your journey towards self-fulfillment and seek a supportive ally to navigate the path ahead, then you’ve come to the right place.

I use a holistic approach to care that utilizes medication management and psychotherapy to address a range of mental health disorders. I incorporate knowledge and techniques I learned from my personal studies in Yoga and Ayurveda, as well as Jungian psychology, Buddhism, Hinduism, Kabbalah, and esotericism. Among the most common conditions I treat are depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety disorders.

While I won't reveal how many years I've been in the field (let's just say experience has its perks!), I assure you that I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise in mental health care. My journey began in community mental health, where I laid the foundation for my practice. I then expanded my skills in inpatient settings, catering to individuals on psychiatric and substance abuse units.

Transitioning to private practice further honed my abilities, eventually leading me to establish my own practice in 2018. This decision was fueled by a desire to personalize patient care, drawing from both professional growth and personal encounters. By prioritizing my patients' needs, I aim to create a healing environment tailored to individual journeys towards better mental health.

When you work with me, get ready for an experience that's as unique as you are. I listen, I understand, and I communicate with care. I provide thoughtful and direct communication, ensuring you feel supported every step of the way. And yes, I do like to sprinkle in a bit of humor – expect a few jokes and playful jabs (especially at those insurance companies, right?). While we navigate the serious stuff, I believe laughter can be great medicine too.

Oh, and let's not forget about Kirby, the real star of the show! Kirby, my long-haired, standard-sized Dachshund, brings an extra dose of warmth and comfort to my space. He's always ready to offer a furry paw and a wagging tail to brighten your day.

So, if you're looking for a welcoming environment where you're not just another appointment, but a valued individual, we’re just an email or phone call away.
