Intellectual Disability Therapists in Hillsborough, NJ
I provide evaluation, diagnosis and treatment/educational recommendations for developmental disorders or delays including intellectual disability, specific learning disability, autism, and Fragile X syndrome.
Intergenerational family dysfunction is not inevitable. I work with adults and children to untangle relational and behavioral patterns that are often foundational to the presenting problem. I take an integrative, strength-based approach and help the client identify perceptions and attributions that may be interfering with optimal self development and fulfilling relationships. This therapeutic approach is helpful in changing dysfunctional relational dynamics to those that promote growth and well-being.

Are you feeling worried or unable to fully enjoy previous hobbies or interests that you once looked forward to? Or are you a parent of a child who is struggling emotionally or behaviorally in school or at home? It takes a great amount of strength to admit an answer to any of these, let alone seek therapy. I admire the courage of each and every person who makes the decision to come to therapy. My experience involves providing individual, group, and school counseling services to children as young as 2 years old, adolescents, young adults, and adults. I have unique experience in working with individuals on the autism spectrum.

Taking the steps to find a therapist can be overwhelming, but making the decision to take those steps is the hardest part. Recognizing that there is a need for support is a sign of strength & courage. I believe that building a therapeutic relationship & providing a safe environment are the two most important elements in therapy. My goal is to establish those elements in efforts to guide & empower clients towards personal growth & achievement. My work with clients is supportive, nonjudgmental, collaborative, builds upon client strengths & aims to foster a change process. I utilize cognitive behavioral, strengths, solution focused & mindfulness approaches.

It can be exhausting as a parent seeing your child suffering and feeling like you just don’t know what to do or say. Many families reach out for support after struggling alone through weeks or months where every day feels like a constant uphill battle. Reaching out to a therapist is not easy. Regardless of the reason, calling a stranger to ask for help can feel intimidating. I would like to take a moment to reassure you that this first step is often the hardest, but it does get easier. I offer a safe non-judgmental space to talk about the difficulties you and your child have been experiencing and begin taking steps forward together.

Since 2014, I have worked on the child study teams in the public-school systems. I enjoy explaining to parents and children how they best learn and what schools can do to help them achieve their goals. Watching parents and kids get a better understanding of how their brain works and they can use their strengths to balance out their challenges is essential to being a psychologist to me.
