Welcome to Novo Motivational Interviewing Training, my new MI training site where you can contact me to explore MI training services. I provide flexible MI based trainings and coaching to individuals and organizations. I have particular interest in training healthcare providers.
I provide introductory, and intermediate to advanced training and coaching in MI. I have 35+ years experience providing psychotherapy as part of a multi-specialty medical group practice where I was also involved with team based care, quality improvement and implementation of PCBH.
I completed an M.Ed. in counseling psychology with a focus on family therapy and client centered (Rogerian) approaches. In the early 2000's I was trained in Motivational Interviewing and completed a Motivational Interviewing TNT (train new trainers) in Portland Maine in 2004. My clinical work has included working in inpatient facilities, community programs for severe illness, corrections, outpatient psychotherapy and many years treating patients and providing training in an independent, multi-specialty medical group practice.
Along with Martha Mastroberti, a colleague in the medical practice, I provided quality improvement training in team based care, working effectively in teams, motivational interviewing, patient engagement and PDSA methods for improvement.
I have a particular interest in patient centered care and integrated behavioral health (IBH, PCBH). In addition to training medical providers and staff I have trained a hospital readmission team, care managers and in a community mental health agency.
