Cristina is professional, caring and helpful!

She has assisted me on how to navigate my journey through life in the most beautiful way.

She’s there to listen, gauge your situation and provide feedback to strengthen your intentions, actions and behaviors.

Thus providing a framework of philosophies, mental and emotional development exercises etc. to support my growth and further this journey.

The fact that I connected with her from the beginning was definitely important to me. It’s been five years since I talked to a professional and she made me feel not only comfortable but safe enough to talk and express my true feelings. I don’t gel with new people right away so I love that we did. So happy and blessed to have her.

Better Help is a platform that allowed me to open up and deal with the Inner Me. The Inner Me that sat silent for decades denying itself a voice.

Cristina became that guide that held the hands of the Inner Me and offered it a world of empathy, understanding, support, free of judgements, and told it that it's ok not to be perfect.

I have had one appointment with Christina so far and she seems to be a good fit. She is very nice and she reads my journal entries and responds to my messages in a timely manner. I am looking forward to my next session.
