I had the fortune of first discovering M.I. while working at a wilderness-based leadership program for at risk young adults in New Mexico in 2004. M.I. has been the most helpful tool I have encountered over 15 years working with youth, adults, and families. I am currently working in private practice. I recently worked in an integrated healthcare center at an FQHC in Nevada. Other direct practice experience includes working as a counselor and a supervisor for several different outdoor-based behavioral healthcare and adult leadership programs, serving in the child welfare system, and facilitating psychoeducational and support groups for parents.
I can offer MI training, coaching, consulting, evaluation and MITI based coaching.
When not working, you can find me practicing permaculture or exploring the great outdoors with my hyper-friendly golden retriever.s
