Professional Mediation
Mediation helps parties resolve conflict using a variety of styles and approaches to do this. Much like doctors and counselors will use different strategies to achieve desired results, so too do mediators use different techniques. The three main styles of mediation are evaluative, facilitative, and transformative. I believe in using all three styles as more of an eclectic approach that evaluates, validates and creates a space for healing.

Diversity and Inclusion Trainings
As a multiracial individual who loves cultural diversity I bring a unique expert perspective to my inclusive strength-based approach to diversity trainings. My program is designed to facilitate positive intergroup interaction, eliminate prejudice and discrimination within an organization, and educate individuals who are different from others on how to see each other, tolerate one another and work together effectively.
