Christian Psychiatrists in Sherman Oaks, CA
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.

If you’re reading this, I want you to know that you are not alone. Life can feel overwhelming, uncertain, and even exhausting at times—and it’s okay to admit that. Reaching out for support takes courage, not weakness, and it’s a powerful first step toward healing and growth. I want to acknowledge the strength it takes to consider therapy and the vulnerability that comes with seeking help. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or simply feeling stuck, I see you—and I honor your journey. My role is not to “fix” you, because you are not broken. I aim to walk beside you, creating a safe, empowering, space.

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.
