Trainer Statement

My stumble into MI as a part of a research project several decades ago changed the trajectory of my whole life.  I had no idea that those first experiences in using MI to help people consider whether or not to cut down on or quit using alcohol were going to be so influential.  I went from an MI user to a MI supervisor to MI trainer. Now I can't imagine my life without MI as a major guiding force.  I love sharing my passion for MI with others- from assisting with agency wide implementation and training to providing feedback and coaching of practice samples to individuals.  I'm always glad to chat about how MI might be useful to you.
