I joined MINT in 2006 and work full time as an independent consultant and trainer, virtually as well as out of Reno, NV, San Francisco, CA and the Washington, DC areas. I have been fortunate to have designed and facilitated several thousand MI workshops for health care practitioners, behavioral health clinicians, social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists and criminal / juvenile justice professionals, and I provide training for trainers in evidence-based practices. I currently serve as a Director Emeritus from the MINT Board and continue to work with the professional skill development activities. I also have served on a number of MINT committees and TNT teams in Fort Wayne, Atlanta, Berlin, New Orleans, Warsaw and virtual TNT teams in Canada. I frequently provide MI coding and skill development coaching, coding QA, research intervention design, and consultation to systems for effective MI implementation. I am also a co-developer of the Motivational Interviewing Competency Assessment (MICA) coding and coaching instrument, co-author of Motivational Interviewing for Mental Health Clinicians: A Toolkit for Skills Enhancement and co-author of the forthcoming What's the Problem? A skill development guide for navigating challenging motivational conversations. I spent my undergraduate years at Occidental College in Los Angeles, and completed graduate studies in organizational behavior at the School of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell University, my J.D. at the Cornell University School of Law and am a Cornell Certified Diversity Professional. In my spare time, I participate in cold-water marathon swimming events, raising funds for under-resourced kids’ charities.
