With a background in nursing and specialized training in healthcare administration, Christina manages the behind-the-scenes work that keeps the client experience running smoothly. From organizing appointments and coordinating between clients and providers to handling billing, coding, and compliance, she ensures that every detail is accurate and every interaction reflects the care and professionalism that define the New Path experience.
What sets Christina apart is the clinical perspective she brings to an administrative role. Her nursing education gives her a deeper understanding of what clients are going through and why the details of their care matter, allowing her to approach every task with both precision and genuine empathy. Whether she is helping coordinate a new client's first appointment or resolving a billing question, she treats each interaction as an opportunity to make someone's experience a little easier and a little more human.
Christina is drawn to New Path Psychiatry because of the team's shared commitment to truly bettering the lives of the people they serve. She finds deep fulfillment in being part of a collaborative, compassionate practice where every role contributes to the client's overall well-being. For Christina, the administrative side of healthcare is not separate from the care itself. It is part of the foundation that allows clients to feel supported from the very first point of contact.
Christina's nursing background gives her clinical insight that enhances her administrative work, allowing her to anticipate client needs and communicate with both providers and clients with a level of understanding that goes beyond typical administrative support.
Her attention to accuracy in billing, coding, and compliance ensures that clients can focus on their care without worrying about the logistical details, while the practice maintains the highest standards of regulatory integrity.
Christina's warm, communicative approach to her role reflects New Path Psychiatry's belief that compassionate care extends to every touchpoint in the client experience, not just the clinical appointment itself.
"It is my belief that by providing compassionate care and open communication, a client's experience can be greatly enhanced. My hope is that clients will feel that they are receiving genuine care, understanding, and confidence as they strive for greater health."
