About Naja
I am licensed in New Mexico with 9 years of professional work experience. I am trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy DBT, Trauma Focussed Cognitive behavioral therapy TF-CBT, and several other skills building modalities. I also firmly believe in the therapeutic value of personal connection and a receptive ear. I also collect therapy related memes because humor is often the best medicine.

- “I have been seeing naja for a while now and I have seen a big difference in my self esteem, how I look at and react to situations and I am learning what self care looks like for me. Very understanding and easy to open up to.”
- “Naja has helped me realize a lot of things about myself and ways to help my anxiety and depression, she understand my thought processes and has been very knowledgeable in how to change negative thought patterns. She is also very patient and kind, I respect her professional opinions very much.”
- “Naja has given me her support for the past several months. I believe in her experience and her ability to communicate with me, as someone who is rediscovering my self confidence after being recently diagnosed with neurodivergent challenges (by a third-party) and dealing with a long term relationship breakup. Her relevant expertise, ability to provide reassurance, compassion, hold space for you to work through or process your own experience at your own pace, and especially her analogies/metaphors have been extremely helpful to me. I have humbly stumbled upon her and highly recommend her for my emotional support and (albeit virtual) crying session needs. Happy or sad tears, she is a welcoming professional on the BetterHelp platform and would be an asset to anyone who chooses to work with her and on themselves. 10/10 Would Recommend Naja!”
- “Naja has honestly been one of the best therapists I've ever had. Our sessions feel like catching up with a wise friend with good advice. And I always feel like I can share anything no matter how silly it may seem. Highly recommend and hope to be able to stay with her for a very long time!”
- “Very easy to talk to”
