About Me

Hi! Stan here 👋🏻 I’m the owner and operator of Hawthorne Pediatric Therapy (HPT). I started HPT to provide quality and accessible pediatric occupational therapy services to my surrounding community. 

Originally hailing from the great state of Wisconsin (Go Packers!), I’ve settled down in New Jersey with my wife and two kids.  

After receiving my Bachelor’s degree from Marquette University, I had an early career change that led me to pursue my Master of Science in Occupational Therapy at Sacred Heart University. 

I have worked as an occupational therapist with every age group, in most every setting. I’ve worked with children to the elderly providing therapy in-home, in clinics, schools, and hospitals - I have experience meeting my clients where they are most comfortable.

I’ve focused my practice on children and young adults to help provide them with the tools and skills they need to reach their fullest potential. I have experience working with kids diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, cerebral palsy, stroke, fine motor deficits, sensory processing issues, visual deficits, and gross motor delays. I have received continuing education in many areas - including autism, S’cool Moves, sensory processing, reflex integration.

I look forward to working with you and your family.
