I am a dually board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a Master of Science in Nursing from East Tennessee State University. My background spans both primary care and mental health, which gives me a unique perspective on how physical and emotional well-being are deeply connected. I have spent my career working in hospital and healthcare settings, and I bring that hands-on clinical experience into every interaction with my patients. I am also trained in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and have experience in healthcare management and nursing education — all of which inform the thorough, evidence-based care I provide.

I aim to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered as we explore what’s working, what isn’t, and strategies that fit your unique needs - at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I’m a double board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), taking an integrative approach that considers both your physical and emotional well-being.
Hello,
My name is Keisha and I specialize in treating various issues. I appreciate the opportunity to provide my services to you. I create a safe space for my clients, free of judgement and full of understanding.
Welcome!! I’m glad you’re here and ready to take this step toward your wellbeing.
As a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I am passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each individual’s unique needs. I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and other mood or stress-related conditions. In addition to these focus areas, I also support clients dealing with trauma, grief, panic disorders, OCD, relationship and family issues, maternal mental health, and cultural or identity-related stressors.
Fluent in English, Hindi, and Punjabi, I value inclusivity and cultural understanding in my work. My goal is to make clients feel truly seen, heard, and supported as they take steps toward emotional well-being and resilience.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Norfolk
Finding psychiatrists in Norfolk starts with understanding the type of care you want to explore. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication as part of care. Therapists provide talk therapy and support, and some people use one type of care while others work with both. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or a psychiatry consultation, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties and training to see whether their background matches your needs.
Norfolk has local psychiatry options across neighborhoods like Ghent, Freemason, Larchmont, and surrounding Hampton Roads communities, but local appointment supply may vary. Virtual visits can expand your options when nearby offices have limited openings or your schedule makes travel harder. Psychiatric care often includes shorter, less frequent medication management visits than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare profiles, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, session format, and the bio details that explain communication style and areas of focus.
Psychiatric care in Norfolk can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who take your plan, are accepting new patients, and offer clear availability for virtual or in-person care. You can enter your insurance details, compare bios, review estimated costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
