Her family law experience includes policy formation, research and program development regarding court processes, child support protocols and parent education programs, as well as developing expertise regarding international child custody disputes.

“High conflict people can negatively and permanently impact their children’s personalities and lives. This can set them up for relationship failure, addiction, depression, anger, and other severe problems. Our desire is to educate family law professionals and other professionals regarding how to identify and manage high conflict personalities in the hope that children will ultimately have a chance to develop healthy lives.”

She holds an M.B.A. from the University of Phoenix and a Bachelor’s of Business and Economics from Chadron State College, Chadron, Nebraska.  She served as President of the Arizona Chapter of the Association of Family & Conciliation Courts, the Arizona Family Support Council and Nebraska Child Support Enforcement Association and served on a federal task force that designed a strategic plan for judicial and child support enforcement collaboration. She is a public member of the Arizona Board of Psychologist Examiners and was honored with the 2006 “Friend of Psychology” Award from the Arizona Association of Psychologists.
