Empowering, Healing Therapy for Insightful, Growth-Minded Women

I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.

If you’re reading this, you’ve probably already tried everything you know to feel better:

You’ve read the self-help books.

You’ve listened to the podcasts.

You’ve followed the Instagram accounts.

You’ve tried the advice from friends.

Maybe you’ve even tried therapy before.

And yet…something still hasn’t shifted. The same patterns keep showing up.

What It Feels Like to Be Stuck

For years, you’ve worked hard to show up perfectly for everyone else—at work, in relationships, in family roles. But inside, it feels like you’re always one misstep away from falling apart.

  • You replay conversations, wondering what you should have said differently.

  • You feel like you’re on stage, constantly performing to keep others happy.

  • You find yourself repeating the same hurtful relationship patterns.

  • You worry something’s wrong with you—that no one truly sees how hard you’re struggling.

Whether it’s the weight of childhood trauma, the lingering impact of relationship abuse, the confusion after leaving a high-control religious environment, or the exhaustion of trying to navigate life as a neurodivergent woman in a world that doesn’t always make room for you—there’s a common thread:

You want to feel safe, confident, and connected—without the constant fear, doubt, and overthinking.

Hi, I’m Jacqueline

I’m the owner and lead therapist at Wild Oaks Counseling.

Clients often come to me already aware of how and even why they’re stuck. They’ve worked hard on growth, but long-term change still feels out of reach.

I’m not a “stuffy, sit-back-and-nod” therapist. I also won’t just validate you without giving you the tools to grow. Validation is important, yes—but you need more. You need someone who can:

  • Challenge you and call you out (with compassion).

  • Teach you skills and strategies that actually stick.

  • Help you explore the uncomfortable topics—trauma, sex, money, power, privilege, identity—without judgment.

  • Use humor when needed, because sometimes laughter is the only way to open the door to the hard stuff.

I show up as my authentic self because I know trust, safety, and connection are the foundation of healing.

I also bring a special focus in working with neurodivergent clients, LGBTQIA+ clients, and survivors of high-control religious systems, alongside women healing from trauma in relationships, families, and careers.

My Specialties & Modalities

Trauma Therapy

You may hesitate to even call it “trauma.” After all, you’ve built a good life, achieved a lot, and from the outside, you look successful. But inside, it often feels different. Maybe your childhood was marked by emotional distance, high expectations, or experiences you’d never want anyone else to go through. Maybe past relationships left you questioning your worth, your judgment, or your ability to trust.

You find yourself worrying constantly, second-guessing decisions, struggling to feel confident, or replaying conversations long after they’re over. Trauma therapy can help you reconnect with yourself, quiet the self-doubt, and begin creating relationships where you feel safe, secure, and deeply seen.

Trauma Intensives

Traditional weekly therapy has its place, but for many high-achieving women, busy moms, and professionals, it can feel slow, fragmented, or like “just another appointment.” That’s why I offer trauma therapy intensives—customized, extended sessions designed to help you go deeper, faster.

Intensives are longer sessions (typically 3+ hours over 1–3 days) with a focused, intentional goal. They’re especially effective for healing specific traumas, breaking through plateaus when you feel stuck in weekly therapy, or jumpstarting your growth with a strong foundation of skills and insight.

Instead of spending months circling the same patterns, you’ll have the time and space to fully process, release, and reset—so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

  • Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

    ART uses gentle eye movements and visualization to help your brain release stored trauma quickly and effectively. Many clients notice significant relief in just 1–3 sessions, making it a powerful tool for resolving painful memories and shifting negative beliefs.

  • Brainspotting (BSP)

    Brainspotting uses the connection between your gaze and your nervous system to access and heal trauma at a deep level. By focusing on specific eye positions, your brain and body are able to process unresolved experiences in a way that feels natural and profound.

  • Neurofeedback

    Neurofeedback helps retrain your brain to regulate itself. By receiving real-time feedback, your brain learns to spend more time in calm, focused, and balanced states—so regulation becomes your default rather than the exception.

  • Enneagram

    The Enneagram is an insightful framework for understanding your core motivations, fears, and adaptations. It can help you recognize patterns that no longer serve you, deepen self-awareness, and create more authentic connections with others.

  • Parts Work

    We all carry different “parts” of ourselves—versions shaped by our past experiences and survival strategies. Parts work helps you meet these inner voices with compassion, integrate them, and create more alignment between who you are and who you want to be.

  • Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT)

    EFT helps individuals and couples uncover the root emotions driving conflict or disconnection. By identifying and reshaping relational cycles, EFT supports deeper emotional safety, stronger communication, and healthier bonds.

  • Relational Life Therapy (RLT)

    RLT combines attachment research, trauma insights, and a lens on patriarchy and power dynamics to help couples break destructive patterns and rebuild connection. This model is both compassionate and direct—helping partners take accountability and grow together.

  • Developmental Model

    The Developmental Model recognizes that all relationships move through predictable stages. By identifying where you and your partner are, we can build the skills needed to navigate challenges, increase intimacy, and grow into a healthier, more resilient partnership.

Therapy Options - Frequency & Location

  • For ongoing struggles or consistent support, weekly or biweekly sessions help you build steady progress. Perfect for women who want to dig deep into trauma therapy, boundaries, or relational healing at a sustainable pace.

  • For those needing faster, focused support, therapy intensives allow for 3+ hours of deep trauma work across 1–3 days. Intensives are powerful for processing childhood trauma, religious trauma, relationship abuse, or breaking stuck relational cycles.

  • Available for clients in Tennessee, Colorado, and Florida. Meet from home, work, or wherever you feel comfortable. Online trauma therapy makes healing more accessible and flexible.

  • Located in Ooltewah, TN (minutes from Chattanooga and North Georgia), my office offers a confidential, grounding space separate from your daily life. In-person sessions are ideal if you value having a physical retreat for vulnerability and growth.
