Great to Meet You

Hi, I'm Christina! I'm a double board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 14 years of experience in healthcare. I earned my bachelor's degree from UCLA, master's from Cal State LA, and post-graduate certification from National University.

Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work in family practice, urgent care, and emergency settings, which has given me a broad understanding of how physical and mental health are connected.

I specialize in supporting individuals who are dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, mood disorders, and other mental health concerns.

My Approach to Care

I believe the best care comes from a compassionate, collaborative, and patient-centered approach. I use evidence-based practices to guide treatment and combine therapy and medication when appropriate to support overall well-being.

Open communication and mutual trust are at the heart of my practice. Together, we'll create a personalized plan that helps you find balance and improve your mental health.

What You Can Expect

In our first session, you can expect to be heard, supported, and cared for. This is a safe, open-minded space where you can share your concerns, feelings, and goals without judgment.

Together, we'll start to explore what's been challenging you and begin building a plan that fits your unique needs. Over time, you'll develop coping skills, gain insight into your mental health, and feel more empowered in your daily life.
