Do you find it hard to get out of bed in the morning, feel hopeless, or can't stop binging on food, TV, and alcohol? Are you having problems in your personal or professional relationships? Do you feel "stuck," unable to get ahead, afraid to set and achieve goals? Have you ever taken an honest look at your childhood, teen years, or any other time in your history to see what might be holding you back? Have you ever been heartbroken because of a major loss to death, divorce, or a lifetime of painful experiences like childhood traumas? Regardless of the cause, you know it doesn't feel good and you want joy and freedom in your life.

I am duly certified as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and family nurse practitioner. I became a RN in 2006 and a family nurse practitioner in 2012. After working in family medicine, I became very passionate about mental health. I felt called to serve those who were often overlooked. Therefore, I got my board certification in psychiatry/mental health in 2018 and pursued psychiatry full time. I have been working at Foresight Mental Health since 2021. I’m inspired to work in mental health because of how rewarding it is.

Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or mentally exhausted can quietly take over your life. You may struggle with focus, sleep, motivation, or persistent worry while trying to keep up with work, relationships, and daily responsibilities. Many people I work with sense that something about their treatment hasn't been working—but aren't sure why. I work best with adults who want to slow down, ask better questions, and build a plan that actually fits their life. If you're looking for psychiatric care that feels calm, thoughtful, and collaborative, you don't have to navigate this alone.

FAQ - Christian Psychiatrists
Why might someone seek a Christian psychiatrist?
Psychiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions using a combination of therapy and medication. A strong therapeutic relationship is a vital part of effective treatment. For many Christian individuals, working with a psychiatrist who understands or respects their faith can help foster a deeper sense of trust, comfort, and alignment in care. Providers familiar with Christian beliefs and values may be better equipped to address spiritual concerns, moral or ethical questions, and the role of faith, prayer, or community in a person’s mental health journey.

How to find a Christian psychiatrist?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows users to search for psychiatrists by faith, making it easy to find psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who incorporate Christianity into their practice. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approach, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. These details can help you evaluate whether a psychiatrist aligns with your faith and whether they are a good fit for your mental health needs.
