Research Interests:
My research is focused on the training and supervision of Motivational Interviewing (MI). I am interested in the dissemination and implementation of MI with a wide variety of behavior change opportunities, but especially with alcohol and drug abuse. As a result, I am specifically interested in how the use of objective evidence based evaluation tools facilitates MI training and skill development (dissemination), and successful integration of MI into ones work with clients (implementation). In addition MI I also study various aspects of psychology training and supervision, psychological consultation, and alcohol and drug abuse.

Mentoring:
As a trainer and researcher I place a high value on mentoring students. In my experience mentoring was one of the most valuable aspects of my graduate training and I believe it significantly enhances what one learns and how one develops as a psychologist. To that end, I take significant time to understand my students training needs and goals as well as how they want to develop personally and professionally. Further, I believe mentoring includes involving my students in my work, both training and research, and as a result I look to get my students involved immediately. This involvement includes conducting research, writing manuscripts and presenting at conferences. I offer my students opportunities to be co-authors on manuscripts and presentations and provide education and guidance about the research process from topic conceptualization through publication. I also encourage my students to get actively involved in professional organizations.


Motivational Interviewing Research Team:

The Motivational Interviewing Research Team was designed to implement empirical and theoretical projects related to Motivational Interviewing (MI) in general but specifically relating to evaluation, dissemination and implementation of MI. The MIRT is made up of professors, graduate students, and undergraduate students dedicated to the generation of knowledge related to MI through conducting empirical research, writing manuscripts, and presenting at professional meetings. Further, the MIRT is aimed at developing students' abilities in conducting empirical research in preparation for careers as psychologists, counselors, and successful graduate students.
