I have worked in inpatient and outpatient, school and community-based, residential and hospital settings.  I am trained in family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and mindfulness.  

I have been directing the training clinic, The Meltzer Center, at The George Washington University since 2006.  In my role, I teach, train, and supervise doctoral level students.
