Christian Psychiatrists in Newport Beach, CA
I believe mental health treatment works best when we look beyond symptoms and understand the whole person. In addition to medication management, I focus on the role that sleep, lifestyle habits, nutrition, exercise, stress, family, physical health, and personal values play in emotional well-being.
My approach is collaborative, personalized, and rooted in integrative psychiatry. Depending on your needs, treatment may include medications, therapy-based strategies, behavioral coaching, evidence-informed supplements, and lifestyle interventions. I have a particular interest in sleep optimization and believe its a cornerstone of health.

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.
