Expertise

I can answer a great deal of questions relating to psychology. Specifically, I am very scholarly and erudite in the area of psychological color theory, memory/learning, and the biopsychosocial effects of illumination. Additionally, I do have a substantial knowledge of psychology as it relates to the field in general such as abnormal psychology, counseling, substance abuse, and lifespan development. I can also provide information on partner and domestic violence. I can answer basic, general questions relating to psychology, but cannot answer any requests for specific diagnoses or treatments nor any that would violate the APA Code of Ethics.

Experience

I have assisted in the start-up process for federally funded social programs. I have been the key note speaker on subjects such as industrial psychology, psychology of health & safety, child abuse, domestic violence, advanced mind mapping, and many other interesting topics. In the past, I have provided consultations to businesses in customer service, dealing with difficult customers, and biopsychosocial effects of illumination. I am currently a full time instructor at a local community college in addition to offering my services as a consultant.
