My name is Christina Nail My lifelong fascination with human nature, particularly within the realm of romantic relationships and sexuality, has shaped my unique approach. I utilize new and established techniques in sex therapy and couples therapy. This keen awareness allows me to decipher nuances in people's behaviors, traditions, thoughts, emotions, and convictions. Every interaction I have with clients is a source of wonder and gratitude, as I delicately observe and establish meaningful connections. This rapport enables me to seamlessly adapt and tailor my strategies to cater to each client's distinct needs.
My professional journey commenced within the walls of a psychiatric hospital, where I engaged with high-acuity patients grappling with severe manifestations of suicidality, homicidality, psychosis, and declining functionality attributed to conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and more. It was amidst the tumultuous environment of the psychiatric ER's intake department that I recognized my innate ability to thrive in crisis situations. Today, my focus has shifted to relationships and sexuality facing their own "crises." You might have experienced the isolating belief that you're alone in your struggles, that your challenges are insurmountable, and that no one comprehends your situation. Let me assure you, our shared human experiences far outweigh our differences.
A pivotal moment in my life came when I found myself venting about the complexities I was facing. Unexpectedly, the response I received was a thought-provoking question: "What sets you apart that you should lead a problem-free existence?" Although initially caught off guard, I realized the profound truth in that statement. We are all bound to encounter difficulties. While some problems can be directly resolved, others necessitate a strategic approach to craft a fulfilling life, irrespective of the hurdles we face. My mission is to guide you in navigating these challenges, fostering resilience, and ultimately, empowering you to forge a life of exceptional quality.
