I am trained in Motivational Interviewing which helps clients determine their readiness for change. I earned a certificate in Motivational Interviewing from the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School.  I enjoy using Motivational interviewing with clients. People often feel affirmed and empowered through this approach.

“Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style of communication with particular attention to the language of change. It is designed to strengthen personal motivation for and commitment to specific goal by eliciting and exploring the person’s own reasons for change within an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion.”
