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.
