Hello,
I have two complementary jobs, one in education as an Associate Professor in the World Language Department at Queens University of Charlotte and another as a Mental Health Counselor/Addiction. Love using MI in both experiences. I'm also a MI facilitator. I prefer that designation instead of "trainer" because it is all about language.
I use Motivational Interviewing to engage in true conversations that lead to one's self-discovery and to one's desire to achieve a particular goal. In my training, "we" build communities that support curiosity, motivation, and growth.
