I am a working clinical psychologist, and an MI trainer. My work encompasses a wide variety of patients that usually have overlapping issues within the health and mental health worlds. The MI training I usually also floats within the health and mental health related arenas. I did my TNT and became a MINT member and trainer in Sitges, Spain [June, 2009]. At that time I was teaching MI at a local university to PT students in a doctoral program. I now do MI training now with psychology grad students, and my public workshops will typically have counselors, nurses, nurse practitioners, PT's and OT's, school and behaviroral health counselors, physicians, PA's, and sometimes deputies or probation and or parole staff. I'm interested in research using MI with procrastination, ADHD, learning problems, and dyslexia. My theoretical orientation model blends social learning theory, activation theory, neuropsychology, and of course MI. I'm always keen to learn and understand how MI fits with psycholgical theories, and how MI can be used with all sorts of models, but particularly within any person's own theory of what will help them make changes.
