Christina is the owner and clinical director of Suite 14. As the daughter of two health professionals, she understands the transformative benefits of psychotherapy, and that balanced mental health is the most essential component of wellness. 

Her late father, Dr. John Sarno, first identified chronic pain (TMS) as a mindbody disorder and pioneered a model of treatment that Christina applies across her own clinical practice. Exposure to his work throughout her life profoundly influenced her decision to become a psychotherapist. Most notably, she remains fascinated by the fundamental power of uncovering, acknowledging, and accepting unconscious emotions.

Christina specializes in difficult career transitions, relationship distress and separation or divorce and has been treating clients clinically for over a decade.  Her experience includes graduate-level teaching at Brooklyn College and New York University, organizational consulting in healthcare and education and the development of postgraduate training.  Christina holds a Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling and Wellness from New York University.
