You’re high-functioning on the outside but mentally exhausted on the inside. You may struggle with focus, task completion, procrastination, racing thoughts, or feeling constantly behind despite working hard. Perhaps you experience persistent anxiety, irritability, low mood, or you suspect ADHD but have never had a clear evaluation. You’re looking for a structured evaluation, thoughtful medication guidance, and a clear plan to feel more stable and focused. Most of all, you want to feel more emotionally steady and in control of your day-to-day life.

Many of the adults I work with are intelligent, successful professionals who have spent years feeling overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, disorganized, or unable to perform at the level they know they're capable of—despite appearing highly functional to others. Often, anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, or years of hard work have masked underlying ADHD. My practice specializes in the evaluation and treatment of adult ADHD in entrepreneurs, executives, healthcare professionals, attorneys, and other high-achieving adults throughout California.

Welcome—I’m glad you’re here. Life has a way of testing us. Whether it’s the buzz of anxiety, the heaviness of depression, the impact of trauma, or the uncertainty of life transitions, the struggle can feel relentless. Yet even in those moments, growth and healing are possible. Philosophers from Marcus Aurelius to Voltaire knew that hardship is part of being human—and resilience is how we rise. My work centers on helping adults and young adults turn those challenges into strength, self-understanding, and balance.

Great to meet you! I realize that most of us could use support, especially during times of overwhelming challenges in our personal and professional lives. Life can be complex, with significant obligations and expectations from family, friends, and ourselves. When these challenges become too much, it’s normal to start doubting our ability to manage our affairs and interactions. If stress, doubt, and dissatisfaction go unaddressed, these feelings can develop into an unhealthy view of ourselves and our environment—and it’s at this point that many recognize a need for help.

I worked as an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Psychiatry, University of Hawai'i, Manoa and I volunteered with the Entertainment Industries Council which advocates for accurate portrayal of mental health and substance abuse issues in entertainment and media. I know what type of stigma can be associated with mental health issues and what barriers my clients face on their path to wellness.

As a disabled veteran and former first responder, I understand what it’s like to keep functioning while carrying more than most can see. Many of my patients are military members, veterans, teachers, or frontline professionals who feel anxious, on edge, or burned out—pushing through every day but feeling detached inside. You’re not broken, you are exhausted from surviving.

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.
