Her background includes nine years of professional counseling experience and licensure as an LPCC in New Mexico. That experience includes supporting people through relationship strain, parenting stress, identity questions, and the aftermath of abuse or loss.
Naja aims to help people notice old patterns and try small changes that add up over time. She invites people to bring what matters to them and to work together on realistic steps. Her manner is direct but compassionate, with room for levity when it helps.
