Psychology/Expert Profile

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 in the area

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.
