Her sweet spot? Teaching motivational interviewing to healthcare pros. She brings a unique perspective because she's used these techniques across the whole spectrum of health and wellness - helping folks improve their sleep, stick to HIV care, make dietary changes, and support families through challenging medical decisions. She's trained hundreds of social workers, medical professionals, and health coaches, showing them how to have conversations that actually spark change.

What really makes her training sessions special is her authentic, memorable teaching style. Participants often say that the techniques really "stick" because she teaches through real-world stories and engaging examples. She doesn't just teach theory - she's used these skills in real-world situations, from co-creating a quit smoking plan with a cardiac patient bedside, to helping adult children make safety plans for their parent living with dementia. This hands-on experience means she knows exactly what works in the field and what doesn't. Whether you're a doctor, social worker, health coach, or anyone else who helps people make tough changes, she can show you how to have more efficient and empathetic conversations that lead to real results.
