Hey there, I’m Christina! I am a passionate and dedicated social work professional with a strong interest in mental health, advocacy, and helping others feel seen and supported. Through my experience in behavioral health and day treatment settings, I have developed skills in crisis intervention, group facilitation, and building meaningful connections with children, adolescents, and families. I care deeply about creating safe, inclusive spaces and approaching every person with empathy, understanding, and respect.

I am especially passionate about advocating for underserved communities and creating change within mental health systems. My work and research have focused on issues like the underdiagnosis of autism in women, culturally responsive care, and improving access to quality mental health services. As I continue growing in this field, I hope to lead through compassion, authenticity, and a genuine commitment to making a difference in the lives of others.
