Since 2006, I have been the Director of The Meltzer Center, the Psychological and Brain Sciences department's community-based training clinic for graduate students in the doctoral program. I am responsible for clinic administration, coordination of in-house practica for graduate students, and integration of evidence-based approaches to training, assessment, and intervention. I have a background in psychological assessment, family systems, CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. In addition, I draw from my research background in behavioral medicine and perceived ethic discrimination, and my work with low-income minority and underserved populations. Recent collaborations include the School of Public Health on a NIDA-funded study working with individuals with cocaine addiction and the GW Medical Faculty Associates Dermatology Department working with individuals with psoriasis.
I enjoy mentoring and supervising students; I supervise BA-level interns in the Meltzer Center along with graduate students in many aspects of their training. For example: I supervise the diagnostic intake service in the Center where we focus on treatment monitoring and outcomes in the therapy process. I provide a seminar to first year students on Motivational Interviewing and a supervision group to third year students in Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I also provide supervisor training to advanced students through an experiential and didactic course in the summer. I maintain an active clinical practice in Arlington and the District.
