Nurse-Midwife
Obstetrics and Gynecology
“We all have our own stories, and hearing the stories of my patients makes every day feel challenging and interesting. I strive to honor my patients’ stories by taking time to understand what is happening, responding to their concerns and explaining things in a way that is understandable. I like to make sure my patients always understand they have a choice, and I enjoy helping create a plan that feels good to them.”
Christina has a special interest in contraception and making sure patients have a birth control method that works for them. She especially enjoys caring for teens and menopausal patients. She holds compassion for people experiencing sexual difficulties and symptoms of menopause, and welcomes patients of all identities and sexualities. When Christina’s not working, she is an avid quilter – and even writes books and teaches classes about quilting! In addition to sewing, she enjoys raising her two children, paddleboarding, hiking, theater and enjoying Portland’s extensive food and microbrew options.
