Work History

At the start of my career, I devoted myself to the emotional needs of young children exposed to violence and trauma. After 7 years of working with innocent children who had experienced horrific abuse and neglect, I was broken-hearted and burned out, but I had learned what trauma was about and what it does to our bodies and our brains. I had always wanted to work in Europe and was offered a wonderful opportunity working for the Army in Germany. I took my trauma experience to Germany and used it to help the soldiers. going and coming back from the Middle East. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) was so prevalent amongst soldiers that I created a therapy group so the soldiers did not have to feel all alone with their symptoms. It was so hard for them because they worried that their diagnosis would affect their careers or would mean they couldn't go home for "R&R." because they weren't stable enough. PTSD in the army was a double-edged sword. When I returned stateside I took a position as a family therapist with the Air Force, who had pursued me while still working for the Army in Germany. That was a big mistake because my supervisor made my life miserable and I left after 8 months. I returned to Taos, NM and began working as a therapist in a mental health and substance abuse clinic, Tri-County Community Services, Inc. I worked there for 5 years while building a private practice on weekends. I was working 7 days every week, but I was happy with my clients and my independence. In 2015 I left Tri-County and opened up my own full time agency, Practice Taos Ltd., that was so successful, I decided to open a practice in Florida too, Mandala Behavioral Health. Big mistake because Florida was not for me. In 2019 I returned to Taos and opened my current telehealth private practice, where since the pandemic, I treat clients via Zoom.
