I have worked as a consultant with various Regional Center group homes and clients in some capacity for the past 26 years. During that time earned a Bachelor’s of Arts in Psychology with an emphasis on the Behavior Analysis, a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology, a Master of Science in School Psychology, a Doctorate in Education, and lastly added to my educational career a Preliminary Administration Credential. In addition, I am a Licensed Educational Psychologist (LEP). I am constantly looking for opportunities to teach, coach, and consult.

I have spent the past 22 years working full time as a school psychologist in the same district in the North Highlands area, which is my neighborhood. During that time, I have logged thousands of hours doing everything related to the education process I have worked with students and families ranging from 3 to 21 years of age. Some of the students I have worked with have disabilities and some are typical developing students that are navigating the normal challenges faced in the social-emotional and academic arena.

I have had the privilege expanding my knowledge by maintaining a part-time private Behavioral Consulting practice associated with the training staff for their continuing education associated with mental health practitioners, Juvenile Probation Officers, Law Enforcement Officers, and Clinical Social Workers working with students adjudicated as Juvenile Sex Offenders, Developmentally Disabled Clients and Emotionally Disturbed individuals. I have had extensive experience in working with Educational Plans for Section 504 Accommodations, Special Education, Child Protection Services, County Mental Health Agencies, Developmentally Disabled Regional Centers and County Probation Departments. I had the opportunity to lead Domestic Violence classes for victims and court mandated individuals, anger management workshops, parenting classes and an instructor for the Analysts of Behavior principles.

I believe in the act of giving back to others. I love the art of teaching adults and students. I am currently a trainer for our district on Professional Assault Crisis Training principles to school district employees in addition to teaching parents, students, and school staff ways to improve their relationships. I have been a high-school golf coach for girls and boy student athletes since 2008. In addition, I believe taking care of myself is paramount to having a quality life. I take care of myself by practicing the art of research on topics of interest, running five to sometimes 7 days a week, engaging in strength building exercises three times a week, taking weekly physical massages, monthly experiencing both manicure and pedicure treatments, playing golf and or tennis, taking two to three vacations a year out of town, especially to my favorite location, which is Kauai.
