About me

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LCPC) in Idaho, as well as Nationally Certified Counselor, and I also hold the Graduate Certificate in Addiction Studies. I have been a counselor for 12 years in different settings, such as community agencies of different kind, as well as my own practice. Prior to becoming a counselor, I was an adult educator and worked for colleges and business schools. As an educator, I was passionate about motivating each student to find an individual “life’s path” and to use education as a tool. As a counselor, I am passionate about my clients learning about themselves through the discovery of individual strengths and unique abilities to take on the life’s journey.

In each session, I strive to encourage my clients to find something about themselves they haven’t noticed before. Depending on my clients’ needs, I use many techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused and many others, but educate on these techniques in the process to help my clients “become their own counselors” and build their own “arsenal” of tools. My counseling style is fluid – I meet my clients “where they are”; at the same time, I have been told by my clients that each session with me gave them different perspective and empowered them to approach life’s problems with unexpected solutions!

I am looking forward to meeting and getting to know you!

Been with Jennifer for almost 2-years & continue to find ways to improve my mental health, she is a treasure!

Written on Aug 06, 2024 after therapy with Jennifer for 2 years and 7 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, eating disorders, and coping with life changes

I have sought professional help with a few other therapists/psychologists through my life and not one of them has demonstrated Jennifer's skills. She is professional, experienced, knowledgable, compassionate and she really listens... she responds to my concerns with concrete, real information and advice to help me address and deal with my life. I am working hard to heal, change and grow into a healthier, happier human. Finally, I feel like I may have found a competent, compatible therapist who "fits" my current mental healthcare needs. Of course, everyone has different personalities, therapy methods and skillsets, but for me, Jennifer is great!

Jennifer is an amazing provider—I feel lucky to have worked with her over the last five years.

Jennifer was a great therapist for me. She was a great listener and offered me so many suggestions of how I could deal with the things I was struggling with. It is so nice knowing that Jennifer is available to me when I am in need of support. Her experiences, both as a therapist and in life were appreciated. Thanks Jennifer.
