Christina is a licensed acupuncturist, Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, and board-certified herbalist. She loves the breadth of Chinese medicine and the many ways it can be used to address both specific concerns and the bigger picture of a person’s health. Her approach is grounded in listening closely, understanding what a patient is experiencing, and considering how physical health, emotional well-being, and everyday life are connected. Her clinical experience includes RUSH MD Anderson Cancer Center, where she provided acupuncture as part of supportive oncology care for patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation; Jesse Brown VA Medical Center, where she treated Veterans with acute and chronic pain, PTSD, and sleep disorders; and Chicago Women’s Health Center, where she provided care for stress, anxiety, emotional well-being, menstrual and menopausal health concerns. These experiences gave her the opportunity to work with patients facing very different health concerns and reinforced the importance of listening closely and understanding each patient. Christina works closely with acute and chronic pain, musculoskeletal and orthopedic issues, digestive health, headaches and migraines, reproductive and menstrual health, stress and anxiety, and emotional well-being. Her TCM training includes Chinese herbal medicine, dietary and lifestyle guidance based on Chinese medicine, moxibustion, cupping, gua sha and tui na. She enjoys helping patients feel informed about their health, better understand their symptoms, and find practical ways to bring Chinese medicine into everyday life.
