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!

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.

Jennifer is great for making suggestions on things to do to increase well being. Easy to talk to.

I came to Jennifer with a problem that was related to my young life as an adolescent. She was able to understand an emotional response I was experiencing in my early senior years. After fifteen minutes into our first meeting, she said, “I understand your problem and this is going to be resolved quicker that you think.” With a combination of reading recommendations and weekly online sessions, her prediction was realized; “quicker than I expected”. I am closing my relationship with BetterHelp, and going away with high praise for Jennifer, and betterhelp!

I didn't know what I was looking for in a therapist when I started my search, but when I found Jennifer I knew she was the right one. She was calm, sensible, and gave me tools to navigate my feelings.
