Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Christa, a board-certified psychiatric and family nurse practitioner with 18 years of nursing experience, including high-risk obstetrics and caring for families during pregnancy and postpartum. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Chamberlain University and bring a warm, down-to-earth approach to mental health care. I help people navigate depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and life transitions, with a special interest in perinatal mental health. My goal is to help you feel heard, comfortable asking questions, and involved in creating a treatment plan that fits your needs.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and judgment-free. I take time to understand your concerns, your strengths, and what you hope to change so we can build a plan that fits your life. I combine evidence-based care with clear education and thoughtful medication management when appropriate, making sure you have a voice in every decision. I have a special interest in supporting people through pregnancy, postpartum, and the emotional challenges that can come with these transitions.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other in a welcoming, judgment-free space—there’s no pressure to have all the right words. We’ll talk about what brought you in, your health history, and how things like sleep, stress, and daily routines affect how you feel. Together, we’ll identify your goals and discuss treatment options, including whether medication may be helpful. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, with a clearer understanding of your next steps.
