Life is filled with many opportunities as well as challenges. My goal is to help children and adolescents recognize and seize those opportunities and overcome any challenges and obstacles that get in their way. By helping them create a positive mindset, build effective coping strategies, and expand their repertoire of problem-solving skills, they can live a healthy, satisfying, and successful social and academic life. The earlier these skills are cultivated within the child or adolescent, the greater the opportunities to practice and utilize them to their benefit. Please visit my website: www.childresilience.com
Are you frustrated that no one has been successful in helping your child? My strength-based approach combines comprehensive assessment with evidenced-based interventions. I identify giftedness, learning difficulties, cognitive strengths/weaknesses, social-emotional and behavioral problems, and personality characteristics. Interventions include academic and organization strategies, play therapy, CBT, behavior management, and stress reduction/mindfulness.
I am an Adjunct Associate Professor of Pediatrics and the past Associate Director at the Institute for the Study of Child Development of Rutgers RWJ Medical School. I was an advisor for the Sesame Workshop's Childhood Resilience Initiative and lead projects that build resilience in military families. OTHER LOCATIONS: Branchburg and Morristown
