Being an LMFT is my second career, and the one in which I finally feel like my best self. Having been in the business world for 20 years before this has given me lots of great life experience. I bring all of this and my blended family life to the table when I'm in the room with clients. They deserve the whole person.

Hi, I’m Christina! I’m a double board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 12 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.

Anxiety and moodiness are often symptoms of unchecked, conditioned belief systems and behaviors stemming from the past that no longer serve your well-being or mental health. I help clients with self-worth & self-identity issues that may be associated with anxiety, attachment, insecurity, codependency & relationship issues. I have much experience with those who identify with/as introverts, Highly Sensitive Persons, multicultural identities, bicultural relationships, and interpersonal and intergenerational trauma.

Therapist

Life can be inherently stressful. We often feel trapped by our own circumstances, voiceless in our relationships and powerless to significant change in our lives. We even convince ourselves that if we just wait a little while longer, the problem might go away. Well first let me start by saying that, therapy is best sought when we realize and acknowledge that we are struggling. I have experience working in a variety of settings with individuals, couples, and families with various demographics.

Together, we'll challenge the stories you tell yourself about your life, your experience, and society. I have extensive experience working with folks experiencing anxiety/depression, work burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, and folks exploring their identity (all identities are absolutely welcomed here!)
