With over 12 years in pastoral care, 10 years as a foster parent, and rich corporate experience, I offer empathy, clarity, and practical support.
You look like you’re doing okay but something feels off. You may be struggling with anxiety, overthinking, or relationship conflict, feeling stuck in patterns that don’t make sense. Whether in your own life or as a couple, you feel unheard, overwhelmed, or caught in the same cycles. You’ve tried to figure it out, but nothing works. I integrate Internal Family System (IFS) and Narrative approach to explore the parts of you under stress, the patterns that keep you stuck, and the stories you carry. For couples, we work to understand the cycle between you so it’s no longer you versus each other, but what’s happening underneath.

Hi! Welcome! As a licensed psychologist I have had the opportunity to work with a very diversified group of clients. I believe there are unique strengths, aspirations, vulnerabilities, tendernesses, joys and heartbreaks in every person's life. It is my privilege to help people know and accept their authentic selves and become more mindful, loving, compassionate and nurturing toward themselves and others. I work with clients with more acute issues (anxiety, depression, life transitions) as well as long standing trauma, emotional pain or mental health concerns. I want clients to leave my office feeling understood and hopeful.

You don't have to wait for something big to happen to seek therapy. Often it's small things that you quietly carry that add up. Maybe the family role you took on or your usual coping skills aren't working for you anymore. Or you became a parent, and your kid's meltdown somehow became your meltdown, and you're starting to wonder what that's actually about. There may be stressors at work or perhaps your child needs help and you aren't sure where to turn. Or your faith/spiritual beliefs feel a little unstable and aren't providing the comfort they used to. Thankfully you don't have to figure it out alone; I can help.

Hello, I am accepting new adult clients! Are you, or you and your partner, feeling emotional distress? Do you struggle with negative beliefs about yourself, struggling to communicate or truly understand each other? Do you feel stuck in the same painful patterns? Are you having difficulty concentrating in normal everyday life or have put the things that matter to you aside? Do you feel lost and wonder if you will ever feel like yourself again?
Do your friends or family care, but don't know what to do? If you said yes to any of these questions, you are not alone. People find me when their old coping strategies stop working.

Accepting new clients> Have you ever felt like you're living one foot in the past and one foot in the present, but not by choice? You want to be all here, but there's something holding you back. To your surprise, it can even control your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, so it's naturally also affecting your present-day relationships. Do you ever find yourself fighting visual snapshots or memories of past trauma and its counterpart, shame? Have you ever wondered why certain topics or interactions provoke a strong reaction and leave you feeling raw? If your answer to any of these questions is, "Yes," I may be able to help.

Are you feeling helpless, lonely and tired of your struggles? Why are you getting caught in repetitive, unwanted pattern of life? Do you want to make sense of your life and gain more control? Do you need someone who can listen to you with keen observation, respect and compassion, who can empower and equip you to overcome your chronic or more acute struggles?

If this resonates you, I welcome you to contact me.

Welcome to Hawthorn Trail Therapy; I'm so glad you're here. Human-ing is hard. As relational beings our hearts are broken by grief, loss, and harm, and we can become disconnected from ourselves, others, and the world. The Hawthorn tree symbolizes courage and resilience, and is known for healing of the heart. It takes courage to seek therapy; it's a step on the path of compassionate awareness toward healing and home. For me, this path is one of developing safety and flexibility in the nervous system, moving out of bracing or collapse toward openness and connection, and finding new ways of being that lead to freedom and flourishing.

I have experience working through relationship issues/divorce, betrayal/infidelity, grief, codependency, perinatal adjustment/loss/infertility, life transitions, self-esteem, shame, addiction, anxiety, depression and burnout. I also have worked alongside other therapists, those in the helping profession or individuals responsible for caring for others. I tend to use modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindful Self Compassion.

I hold a Master of Arts in Pastoral Counseling (2023), Master or Arts in Clinical Counseling (2025), and am a licensed mental health counselor associate (LMHCA) in Washington State.
Let's be real; sometimes life gets tricky and we find ourselves in moments where we feel stuck. We need a little help to process what we’ve been through, to identify who we really are, to start believing that our voice matters, and to figure out a game plan for what we want out of life. As a licensed therapist associate with a clinical music therapy background and a wide breadth of counseling experience, I'm convinced that everyone can benefit from a supportive partner on their courageous journey of growth, healing, and self-discovery. That's what I'm here for!

As a family systems therapist with an interest in couples reconciliation therapy and healing relational trauma from infidelity, I am passionate about walking beside you to work through the pain and confusion of your life situation. Intimate betrayal is one of the most devastating and disorienting events that can happen to a relationship. The betrayed partner is left questioning fundamental beliefs and wrestling with the very existence of truth, love and relationship history. I also work with couples who long to enhance communication, connection, and build shared long term goals and values.

Meet Claudia, a sassy boss babe who survives off of memes, froyo, and dark humor.
I am sassy, knowledgeable, and will be straight to the point with you. This is your time so I want you to use it the way you want. Most of my clients are in transitions, such as coming out as LGBTQIA+, having babies, or changing their relationship style (poly/ENM). I also work with clients who have religious trauma and have struggled with purity culture. I am neurodiverse-affirming and love helping find ways to make your brain work for you instead of against you.

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work effectively together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience in tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of culture, religion, and other factors on each individual.
Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Christian values?
Each person brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of treatment modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition that strongly influences the way they conduct their everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process. For some clients, a Christian therapist is likely to incorporate faith-based principles into emotional healing techniques.
How do I recognize an effective Christian therapist?
Christian therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Christian beliefs and values. They have an understanding of the importance that Christian principles play in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of struggles that can affect daily functioning. Like all effective therapists, a Christian therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of life.
Why might someone feel comfortable with a Christian therapist?
While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic success. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who not only is responsive to questions and concerns but also shares a client’s faith and values. Sensitivity to spiritual matters as well as to everyday struggles can provide a welcome sense of safety and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, both of which support the therapeutic process.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Christian therapists?
The directory of Christian therapists includes professionals who have shared their background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
