I have been in practice for 25 year. I work with patients in ongoing psychotherapy to help identify, understand, and work through patterns that may lead to unhappiness and anxiety in life, work, and relationships. Since I am a psychiatrist and can prescribe medication, I may recommend medication when I feel it would be helpful. The decision to use medication is arrived at mutually, with the patient, and medication treatment is provided in conjunction with the "talking" part of the treatment. Given our psychological and biological complexity, I have found this coordinated approach to be most effective and helpful for patients.

Anxiety, depression, and behavior challenges can make life feel overwhelming, especially when traditional care models fail to address the root causes. For example, neurodevelopmental differences may underlie anxiety and depression. High achievement and gender stereotypes can mask autism and ADHD, for which sensory processing challenges are often at the core.
Blue Wave Behavioral Health was created to address this gap in care for children, teens, young adults and families. As a neurodevelopmental psychiatry provider who sees the full picture with comprehensive clarity, I offer clear clinical impressions and guidance for growth.

Parenting Psychiatrists
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
