More About Me

About Me

When I was a teenager I faced some heavy medical conditions. I was told by a doctor what meds I could take, who I would involve, when I would do things. It felt so patronizing, and I knew there had to be a better way. MI walked into my life in 2011, as I worked with teens at a teen clinic, and I knew it was my calling. I love how MI tears down hierarchies and allows people to speak, human-to-human. I not only know MI, I live and breathe MI. I launched my own MI training LLC in early 2024. I train on topics ranging from the basic “what is MI” to the mechanics and skills of MI, to high level subtle-yet-imperative intricacies of having people-centered conversations. I have trained those who are new to MI, those who have dabbled some in MI, to those who are wizards in MI. I have a keen knowledge of MI in some specific arenas - child welfare, teens and sexuality, elderly and dementia-related decisions, cardiac health, smoking cessation, advance care planning - and I can also help you decipher how MI can be useful in your setting as well, no matter the topic or population. If you’re looking to enhance communication, invite the client to take the wheel and take steps, or approach ambivalence in a compassionate and empowering way,, you have a space for MI!

Trainer Statement

I am known for my passion and adoration for MI. I have a very relatable and down-to-earth way of explaining MI concepts and skills, in addition to purposes for said concepts (I'm a "but why?" kind of individual so I tend to offer those explanations). I believe strongly in the spirit of MI, and the compassion and empowerment it can ignite in behavior change and ambivalence, and the ways in which it can deflate heated circumstances. I train under the lens of the MI spirit, meaning, I believe you - the professional- are the expert in your field. I'm simply here to offer ways to enhance your communication so that you have additional tools to empower and guide those with whom you work. 

Training Interests
I would love to partner with any person or team that is interested in learning an evidence-based communication style aimed to empower clients/patients/participants/whomever.
