Jacqueline received her Master of Arts in Counseling from Westminster Theological Seminary, is a Certified Christian Trauma Care Provider, and has completed the Formation Certificate program offered by the Christian Counseling and Education Foundation. She began this course of study over twenty years ago, putting wisdom acquired over those decades to work personally and through serving in her local church body. Jacqueline is passionate about understanding our hearts’ joys and struggles through the lens of Scripture, and using biblical themes to break down the complexity of the human experience. She has a heart for working with women wounded in oppressive relationships, and those suffering through seasons of fear, anger, sorrow, shame, despair, grief, and relational difficulties. Prior to pursuing counseling as a vocation, Jacqueline worked in finance for fifteen years, advising individuals and families. 

​

Jacqueline is married and has two middle school aged sons who keep her home loud and busy. While she has spent the bulk of her life in Southern California and Silicon Valley, her family now calls Nashville home. Jacqueline loves planning family getaways, gardening, curling up under a blanket on movie nights, deep conversations, a good read, and time spent on the water.

Jacqueline is trained in both counseling and theology. She seeks to apply counseling methodology through the lens of a Biblical worldview. Jacqueline trained for 18 months as an intern under Kristin Silva. She is not a licensed therapist in her home state of Tennessee, making it possible for her to work with clients across the country.

Kathy received her Master of Arts in Counseling from Westminster Theological Seminary, is a Certified Christian Trauma Care Provider, and has completed the Formation Certificate program offered by the Christian Counseling and Education Foundation. Concurrently, she has served on staff since 2018 as Director of Women’s Ministry and Congregational Care at her church home in Northern CA. Kathy’s passion for Biblical counseling comes from experiencing the love of Jesus invading the darkest parts of her story of trauma and debilitating mental illness in her family. She has a deep heart for working with those burdened by relational breakdown, whether marriage, family, friendships, or sexual brokenness, as well as the pressures and potential burnout for those in vocational ministry.  She seeks to bring Biblical reframing to a person’s struggles while holding hope in the often hidden hand of God in places of suffering. 

 

Kathy and her husband, Jim, have three grown children, two spirited grandchildren, and a “career change” Guide Dog for the Blind named Rosie. Hiking, reading, laughing, and time with dear friends feed her soul, as does a morning cup of good coffee.
