Christina graduated from Rivier University with her Psy.D. in Counseling and School Psychology in May 2023. She attended her Pre-Doctoral Internship in the University Counseling Center at the University of Oklahoma before joining Portsmouth Neuropsychology Center as a Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Fall of 2023. Prior to her Pre-Doctoral Internship, Christina gained training experience in assessment and therapy through practicum placements at an elementary school, community mental health center, neuropsychological assessment practice, and a counseling private practice.

Through acceptance, we can do what matters to us despite discomfort. It’s like the old saying, “you can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.” In terms of hobbies, she enjoys house plants, going to the beach, yoga, hiking, and traveling.
