Christina S., MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC

I have a passion for serving the pediatric and adolescent population in our community. I strongly believe this is an investment in society's future. Childhood and adolescence is fraught with the myriad of challenges that modern living brings. I believe that early intervention is key to success. In my years as a pediatric nurse practitioner, I learned that children are not little adults, nor are they "a diagnosis". I have a holistic approach to my practice and look at the whole person, their family and their environment. I am on a mission to improve mental health in Colorado Springs, one child at a time.
