Treatment for Anxiety & Early Trauma

Tired of the overwhelm-avoid cycle? I understand. It’s not as simple as talking it out or trying new skills. Especially when anxiety’s part of the mix. This cycle is often related to trauma. And it's highly treatable. Gently treatable. Without so-called "therapy hangovers."

And my job, my passion, is helping people like you. Whether you seek support for ADHD, early or recent trauma, anxiety—or some combination of the three. Helping people learn to flexibly free themselves is what I do.

NOTE: Dr. Bike does NOT specialize in primary depression or bipolar disorders, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, chronic health issues, current abuse, eating disorders, or addictions. HOWEVER, other clinicians do. If any of those are part of your experience, continue your therapist search because you deserve to find a good match for your needs.

Beyond Talk Therapy & Skills Training

You might seek out therapy wanting skills to manage stress and change habits. But it's so common that early or later traumas need our attention to provide lasting relief. It's important to heal from those to truly move on. That's why Dr. Bike uses "bottom-up" approaches, such as Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Somatic Experiencing.

IFS and SE are widely-used treatments that can teach you to safely and compassionately be with your inner experiences. We use the idea of younger parts and follow physical movements. Doing this is a way of gently connecting with implicit memory content. You can learn to be with yourself from a place of understanding and tenderness.

End the Anxiety Cycle and Reclaim Your Authentic Self

Are you ready to reclaim your mind and your life? Therapy can help. We'll work together to shift you out of exhausting old patterns of anxiety and perfectionism. By gently releasing the pain from the past, you can respond to life's challenges by choice and live from your authentic self.
