Hi, I’m Christina! I’m a double board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 14 years of experience in healthcare. I earned my bachelor’s degree from UCLA, master’s from Cal State LA, and post-graduate certification from National University.

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work in family practice, urgent care, and emergency settings, which has given me a broad understanding of how physical and mental health are connected.

I specialize in supporting individuals who are dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, mood disorders, and other mental health concerns.

Hello, I'm Arch Jungers, PMHNP-BC, and I came to psychiatric care more than seven years as a psychiatric charge RN, leading care teams and sitting with patients in their most difficult moments, before becoming a Nurse Practitioner. I truly believe that together, we can solve any mental health problem. When I'm not here, I'm loving on my dogs, playing tennis, or bowling in my weekly league. I am looking forward to meeting you and seeing how I can be of service to you.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • California


I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over three years of experience helping adults navigate depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and trauma. My approach is holistic, evidence-based, and deeply personal. I treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis.


I specialize in medication management combined with brief therapeutic support. I believe in educating my clients, so they feel empowered to make informed decisions about their care. Whether you are starting medication for the first time or looking to fine-tune an existing regimen, I provide a safe, supportive space where you are heard and respected.


I am licensed in California and Arizona and offer secure telehealth sessions that fit your schedule, including evening and weekend availability.

My goal is simple: to help you feel balanced, confident, and in control of your mental health.

You don’t have to keep forcing yourself to fit into a world that wasn’t built for your brain. If you’ve spent your life feeling “too much,” “not enough,” or wondering why things seem harder than they do for everyone else, you’re not alone. As a neurodivergent Clinical Psychologist (PhD) with eight years of clinical experience and specialized training in ADHD and autism—including a postdoctoral residency at Kaiser Permanente focused on autism assessment—I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to my work. I provide neurodivergent-affirming therapy for adolescents and adults navigating ADHD, autism, burnout, trauma, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, life transitions, and identity-related concerns.
