Registered Nurses

Christina Kowalczyk, RN, graduated with honors from Herzing University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. With 16 years of medical experience, she has held various roles, including EMT, emergency department secretary, certified nursing assistant, ER technician, and ER nurse.

At A Ray of Hope, Christina collaborates with doctors and healthcare professionals to develop and implement individualized treatment plans. She also handles nurse calls, swiftly assessing mental health needs and ensuring patients receive appropriate care. While primarily based at the Libertyville location, she works mostly remotely, supporting all office locations.

Christina has a special interest in the intersection of mental health and neurological disorders, having interned directly under Dr. Bansal’s practice. She finds deep fulfillment in being part of each patient’s journey toward healing and growth, helping them build a more fulfilling life.

Outside of work, Christina practices mindfulness daily and enjoys outdoor yoga. She embraces a grounded lifestyle—some may call her a hippie, but she believes there’s no better way to connect with the world than being barefoot in the sand.
