At any point in time, each of us are facing our own unique life's circumstances and their impact on us can be a lot to bear sometimes.
I understand and value the courage it takes to reach out for help navigating those circumstances. In some cases, those circumstances have to do with our past and some have to do with something more recent. My primary goal is to provide a judgment-free place to grow through and past what is getting in the way of living a fulfilling life.
I've been working as a private practice counselor for over 9 years working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families in Idaho. I've helped treat individuals with anxiety, depression, PTSD, Bipolar disorder, family conflicts, co-parenting issues, blended family issues, self-esteem, and life transitions.
Whether you need assistance developing specific attainable goals for the short or long term, or working through historical, current, or situational challenges as your counselor I feel honored to have the chance to walk alongside another's journey.

I’ve been seeing Jen for a couple months and she has just been an incredible listener and someone to bounce ideas back and forth with. She gives me great things to think about. She has helped eased my anxiety and walked through difficult situations with me. I look forward to talking to someone I can say anything to.

Jennifer helped me immensely in a short amount of time. She helped me be brave regarding my actions in a relationship--in ways that I knew down inside but had yet to vocalize and act upon. She is a great listener, and able to quickly hear things that I don't even know I'm saying. She hears what's BEHIND the things I say. She has also given me more confidence in my own skills, abilities and life course. She's been great.

Jennifer has been great. I love how she asks questions that help me see things in a different way. She listens and is great at finding words that describe what I’m getting at. I’m excited to see what’s next and look forward in continuing!

I've never tried therapy before. I had no idea how good it feels to talk to someone about what I'm feeling and getting a genuine response. I've only been communicating with Jennifer for 3 days but that is enough to be optimistic that things are going to get better.

Written on Jan 05, 2022 after therapy with Jennifer for 4 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, self esteem, career difficulties, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue
Jen has been so helpful to me. She is incredibly wise but also very relatable. Talking to her feels like having an older sister or relative who has a very sophisticated understanding of the human mind. I have been so amazed by her ability to really listen and pull out insights from what I share, and have appreciated her open and non judgmental style. 11/10 would recommend.

Very attentive, intuitive, and knowledgeable. Amazing at reframing!
Written on Mar 18, 2021 after therapy with Jennifer for 2 months on issues concerning self esteem
I came to Jennifer with relationship problems. I am a member of the LGBTQ+ community and she was able to still find ways to relate to my problems just like a heterosexual couple. Instead of being like other counselors and giving generic advice she found ways to get me to think about situations outside of the box. I would recommend her to everyone.

I am so grateful to have found Jenn! She is even more than I was hoping to find in a counselor- kind, compassionate, great listener, funny, supportive, encouraging... she is a great communicator and very reliable. My life is better because she's in it!

I have greatly enjoyed my experience with having Jennifer as my counselor. She is smart, sound and she takes the time to fully listen. She truly cares. She has a warm, professional touch. I couldn’t ask for a better counselor and professional mentor.

She is awesome so far!!
Written on Nov 10, 2020 after therapy with Jennifer for 2 weeks on issues concerning family conflicts
This has been my first time ever seeking/having therapy. Jennifer made me soooo comfortable. It was very easy to open up to her and discuss key things to help better understand myself and things I am dealing with. Everytime we meet I feel like I am catching up with a really good friend. She's never pushy or judgemental. She definitely ignites thought provoking questions and overall has been super helpful.

Jennifer is an amazing counselor! She takes the time to listen and get to know you as a person so she can give you the best tools to improve your mood and take charge of your life! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for guidance and support to help get through a difficult time.
Written on Jan 28, 2019 after therapy with Jennifer for 2 months on issues concerning depression, and stress, anxiety
Jennifer has stood out to me compared to experiences with past therapists because she truly listens to me, I don't feel judged or belittled and shes helping me by giving me tools to work with rather than telling me what to do. She doesn't trap me in a box with a certain kind of therapy, she adapts to my needs. Shes kind and smart and so nice to talk to!
Written on Dec 03, 2018 after therapy with Jennifer for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating disorders, sleeping disorders, parenting issues, self esteem, and bipolar disorder
She has helped me tremendously, I have a long list of stuff and she has responded to me in a very caring way. If something isn’t working she just moves on to another to try out. She has a really amazing personality. I enjoy working with her.
