Jalayne Telford

Hello, my name is Jalayne Telford, and I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. My mission is to support you on your mental health journey, helping you navigate any challenges you may face. I am deeply committed to advocating for my patients, offering compassion and practical tools to help improve their lives and overall well-being. My goal is to ensure that every patient feels valued and empowered as we work together to find effective solutions as a team.

I earned my bachelor’s degree with an emphasis in Family Science from Brigham Young University, followed by nursing school at Northwest Community College. I then completed a Master’s in Nursing Education at the University of Mississippi, graduating summa cum laude, and pursued a Post-Master’s in Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner studies from the same institution.
During my time as a Registered Nurse, I worked in Med-Surg, caring for post-operative patients, as well as in the operating room as a circulating RN.
Throughout my adult life, I’ve had the privilege to live in various states, each with its own unique and amazing cultures. My experiences serving communities and interacting with families and individuals of all ages, coupled with my personal challenges, have enhanced my ability to empathize with and help my patients.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and four children. I love exploring creative projects and enjoy repurposing or refurbishing items. I’m also passionate about home improvement and would love to have my own workshop someday! Whether it’s traveling, movie nights or enjoying quiet nights at home, I always appreciate ice cream to top it off.
