Christine Silva, BSc,, BScN,RN

I have been a community nurse for 20 years with a passion for patient advocacy and a holistic approach to healing. I have helped clients with not only their physical/medical needs but also their mental health, listening to their fears, hopes and life challenges.

I am a mom of 2 special needs children with Autism (Level 1), ADHD and anxiety. I understand your concerns for your children, not only when they are little but as they grow older into adolescence and adulthood.

I was relieved when I learned that I also have ADHD like my children because now I understand why I think and do the things I do just like them. I always believed that "Knowledge is Power" and being informed can be confusing with the internet. I can help you navigate through the confusion and help you become informed regarding your current challenges.

Unfortunately, I have lived with chronic pain for 25 years after having a major car accident in 1999. Along the path of life, I also sustained other injuries and conditions like carpel tunnel, tendonitis and shingles in my neck and right shoulder that contribute to more nerve impingement and neuralgia. I understand the emotions that come with long term pain including anger, depression and frustration when you can't do something like you used to do.

If you're looking for a licensed and well qualified professional who will be there to help you work through difficult feelings and build skills for improving your life, we will be a great fit. I can help you take a look at your emotions, core values and/or lifestyle and empower you to make some real, attainable & positive choices. That is what Nurses ultimately do: facilitate positive change.
