I specialize in helping individuals manage a broad spectrum of mental health medications, including but not limited to those used for the treatment of adjustment disorder, depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. By utilizing evidence-based treatments, I tailor my approach to meet the specific needs of each patient, using pharmacological interventions to achieve a balanced, comprehensive treatment plan. Whether it’s coping with life changes, managing stress, or improving daily functioning, my goal is to empower each patient with the tools and strategies they need to thrive mentally, emotionally, and socially Mental health doesn’t exist in isolation – it is influenced by a person’s relationships, environment, and overall well-being. As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I am deeply committed to guiding clients toward achieving their best mental health

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Initial appointments are longer than follow ups and allow me to get to know you, as well as identifying the next steps. Follow up sessions typically focus on updates, or changes, since the last visit.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Communication, trust, and flexibility are crucial for meeting client goals. With a focus on compassionate care, I aim to make everyone feel heard and empowered. My approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and a genuine desire to see every patient achieve long-lasting mental wellness

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with clients to identify and achieve their mental health goals

Christina is absolutely wonderful! I had a great session with her! She is incredibly warm and insightful. She summarized all of my thoughts in such an articulate way! It was the most effective feedback i've ever received from a therapist! It was great speaking to someone that understood my personal struggles. She also effectively outlined and communicated the next steps of my treatment plan! I'm looking forward to our next meeting.
