For over 23 years she has been featured on many radio and television talk shows as well as in the written media. In fact she helped write the 'œHigher Power' episode for the popular CBS show Criminal Minds. She has completed casework for many public and private agencies (see references below). Her most memorable cases include warning a woman that her husband could brutally murder her ' a year later, he did. Another when she stated a sheriff deputy was dangerous ' he later killed his girlfriend. Another when she stated a Homicide Investigator was dangerous and should not be trusted with children ' he was later convicted of six counts of Child Battery. She also has enjoyed assisting in famous cases such as Michael Jackson & Darlie Routier.In 2006 she lead the successful Texas Juvenile Probation Commission research project that was aimed at reducing juvenile recidivism rates via the Handwriting Formation Therapy (HFT) program that she created in 1987.


The juveniles that were chosen to participate remained 100% anonymous during the entire six month program. All juveniles improved social skills, grades, and gained self-confidence. Most importantly'¦ to-date, none have reoffended. She is the first analyst in history to create and introduce a program like this within any public setting. For over 20 years many private children, teens and adults around the world have changed their lives permanently with HFT. While working in the traditional mental health field most of her life she did not notice many long-term benefits. She is an Alpha Beta Kappa graduate of Kaplan University where she obtained her Forensic Psychology degree.She is the President of the National Association of Handwriting & Document Experts (NAHDE), and the International Association of Handwriting Formation Therapists (IAHFT).


She is a proud member of Find Me, National Scholar's Honor Society, CHAI, SSCA, and others. She sits on the Advisory Board of the international Spark of Light Villages Foundation.
