: About Me

On January 17, 2008, I started and was selected for a new position and career as a Clinical Social Worker with the "Ft. Bliss Warrior Restoration and Resilience Center" (R & R Center). This is a model program to treat soldiers returning from war, diagnosed with PTSD. The soldiers participate in a comprehensive, integrative/holistic health program for 6 months, 32 hours per week. Their primary job is to heal and return to active status if they can. I teach meditation, coordinate water polo and health education programs weekly. I also serve as a primary therapist and engage soldiers in individual, group and couple therapies.

In addition to teaching and practicing social work, I am administering and supporting an international community of certified partners of the "15-Minute StressOut Program" with individuals, couples, groups, families, and communities; serve as Team Leader with the "Las Cruces, Health Promotion Team with Elders;" and, facilitate stress management classes for "US Army Community Services," Ft. Bliss, TX.

That is, don't let the fear of God, Sex or Sin prevent you from developing, supporting or maintaining your courage to be your true self. One question is, "What is there to Fear?"
