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 on the MINT Board of Directors and work with the professional skill development committee grouping. I also have served on a number of MINT committees and TNT teams in Fort Wayne, Atlanta, Berlin, New Orleans and Warsaw. 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 and co-author of Motivational Interviewing for Mental Health Clinicians: A Toolkit for Skills Enhancement. 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 as well as my J.D. at the Cornell University School of Law. In my spare time, I participate in cold- water marathon swimming events, raising funds for under-resourced kids’ charities.
