My Approach to Helping
Hello, my name is Christina, and I am a board-certified family and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with a doctorate (DNP-PMHNP). I earned my doctorate at the University of Massachusetts, Irvine, CA (UMASS Global). I specialize in using evidence-based practice, medication therapy, talk therapy, meditation, coping skills, knowledge, and clinical skills with clients with different kinds of mental health challenges. I specialize in ages 6 to 70 and above. I consider integrity a prerequisite in gaining trust because it allows me to adapt, teach, and use morally acceptable practices. I use critical thinking abilities, innovation, effective communication capabilities, respect, empathy, compassion, and mentorship aptitude, which epitomize and embody my passion archetype, because it assists me in understanding others and inspiring and motivating them to get better.
My practice as a psychiatric nurse practitioner is characterized by providing culturally sensitive, empathetic, and holistic care to patients and their families. I strive to provide innovative care to optimize patient care and achieve integrity, respect, and commitment in my nursing practice.
As I started my nursing career, my most important goal and mission was how I could impact someone else's life and uplift another person. What is my contribution to eradicating the stigma behind mental health so people will not be reluctant to seek help? How do I bridge the gap for people suffering from mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, stress, panic attacks, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), bipolar, schizophrenia, and personality conditions, obsessive compulsion (OCD), etc., how do I use my skills to reach out and understand their cry for help? My nursing journey has been channeled by a deep-seated desire to make a meaningful difference in people's lives.
