Advanced communication training for helping professionals

The scope and pace of change in healthcare and social services is overwhelming – for patients, clients and the professionals who serve them. People face enormous challenges in managing their lives and their health, and professionals struggle with burnout, staff turnover, and doing more with less.

I am an expert trainer of Motivational Interviewing (MI), empathic communication, and strength-based coaching – and I customize workshops that engage your team on how to apply these techniques to your work. I’ve been a student of these skills and strategies for over 20 years, and my dearest vocation is to share them.

We all need CEU’s, but what if this time it was fun? Your next annual meeting, staff retreat, or professional development day could not only be an engaging team-building experience but also a turning point. How your team talks about change and their ability to inspire change in others…changes everything.

I provide all the necessary documentation to support your internal CE-approval process for 2, 4, and 6 contact-hour workshops perfect for nurses, social workers, physical and occupational therapists, health and wellness coaches, and others in the helping professions.

Thank you so much for delivering such an outstanding Motivational Interviewing training for our Patient Educator team last week. Your depth of expertise was clear throughout, and just as impressive was your ability to genuinely connect with the group and create a safe, supportive environment for practice, reflection, and honest feedback. We especially appreciated the thoughtful preparation you put into the session – bringing in real, relevant situations our educators face every day made the training immediately meaningful and practical. Your approach helped the team build confidence, sharpen their skills, and engage fully in the learning experience.
