My primary work is with adults who have experienced trauma as a child and are living with that impact in their lives. Some of the trauma may be intergenerational. Oftentimes the impact will result in anxiety or panic attacks. My practice is to be WITH my clients in working through the past.
My work has also included holding the space with the indigenous population, respecting each person’s life story. In the early years of my practice, I was a hospice chaplain, being with the person transitioning into the next world, and assisting in setting up life memorials and “celebrations” of life with the families.
Presently I work as a part-time therapist, and volunteer at a homeless shelter in Albuquerque and in El Paso and Cuidad Juarez with the asylees. I am a parent of adopted children, now adults, and have fostered many children.
