Christina attended Wayne State University for her graduate studies. She is a board certified pediatric nurse practitioner, specializing in primary care. She has nearly 8 years of combined experience in pediatrics, newborn care, adolescents, and psychiatric mental health. Her passion has always been to make an impact in the lives of children through her work and by helping the community. Her favorite part of working with children is to allow them to participate in their care. She is passionate about high quality family centered care.
When it comes to mental health, she feels psychotherapy and medication management, when offered together, significantly improves patient outcomes. She is well-versed in medication management, and am experienced in CBT, DBT, and schema-focused therapy. During sessions, she will offer you a safe space for self-exploration. It is her goal to help better understand yourself through identification of thoughts, emotions, and behavioral patterns. She believes that all people have the capacity for self-insight, and that the answers to life’s problems are within. Together we will determine what type of therapy you need and what medications you take, if necessary. Appointment timing is determined by need: some patients are seen as often as weekly. For those seeking more intensive therapy, such as trauma work, a private therapist is recommended.
She understands the importance of stability in a provider, and can assure you of her intent to be stable for you. She will provide nurturance, guidance and empathy. She will see the best in you. We will work through your problems together.
Her family is the joy of her life. She is also a dog lover and mom to four rescue dogs. She enjoys cooking and scuba diving.
