It is important to me to listen to my clients’ need and help them achieve their goals. I enjoy what I do and that translates into relaxed - and profitable - transaction for my clients!

Mediation and Facilitation Services

I specialize in helping people and groups who are stuck in conflict and want to find a positive way forward, or who want help in building collaborative relationships from the start. I believe that differences are a part of what makes a group lively and creative, and need not lead to unpleasant or intractable conflict. I also coach people who are trying to resolve conflict.

I have done this work since 1995, both inside large organizations, and as an independent consultant. I offer 30 minutes free consultation.

Photography

My specialty is portraiture, both business and informal, for men, women, families and children. I'm also available for Weddings, Commitment Ceremonies, Events and La Quinceañera. I enjoy recreating what life has to offer, capturing the moments that life presents and bringing them back. Regardless of the type of assignment, I work with all customers beforehand, to clearly understand their desires and expectations. I specialize in headshots, close-ups, capturing a person's eyes, their expressions, their moods. My products include beautifully finished magazine style albums as well as CD format for online use.
