I also employ a Christian perspective, integrating evidence based therapy practices.
Life is hard much of the time, but living doesn’t have to be. Trauma and stress can come in many forms, stealing joy and peace — but it doesn’t have to be a life sentence. My passion is to walk alongside people, to identify goals, peel back layers of wounds and hurt, and see people walk in the fullness of life that is possible. You don’t have to do it alone. I have experience and training with trauma informed therapy, and betrayal. I work with many people suffering distress, emotional dysregulation, PTSD, complex trauma, abuse, betrayal/infidelity, narcissistic abuse and more. Reach out today for step one of a new beginning.

I am both a pastoral and a clinical therapist and supervisor in Idaho and Washington currently operating one of the largest faith-based Sex Addiction recovery out-patient clinics in the greater northwest.
Are you or a loved one experiencing compulsive sexual behavior, marital/couple difficulty, or problem anger? Is social media, infidelity, porn addiction, or other trust damaging behaviors (such as secrecy, hostility, or verbal abuse) truncating your hopes for a long-term, happy relationship? As a former campus minister and domestic violence counselor I bring multiple years of ministry experience combined with the latest evidenced-based sexual addiction, anger management, and couples therapy principles to both individuals, couples, and group therapy settings as well as tailored treatment plans to monitor and track therapy progress.

Hope carries us forward—it gives us a reason to keep going and a sense of purpose in life. When hope feels distant, it can be hard to imagine change is possible, and you don’t have to hold that alone. I work with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem concerns, relational challenges, existential questions, cultural stressors, neurodivergence, and other mental health concerns. I believe therapy can be a place where hope gently re-emerges. Within a safe, attuned relationship, trust can be rebuilt, self-acceptance can deepen, and meaningful change can unfold in ways that honor your pace, story, and humanity.

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.

You look capable on the outside—successful at work, showing up for others—but inside you're exhausted from anxiety, people-pleasing, or managing everyone else's emotions. Couples feel stuck in conflict, losing connection, or living like roommates. You overthink decisions, struggle with boundaries, and wonder when your needs became optional. You want to break patterns, build relationships that don't drain you, and feel understood by your partner. You're ready for real change.

Christian Therapists
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.
