I completed my studies in Marriage and Family Counseling at Northwest Nazarene University. I have worked as a resource specialist, teacher, and small claims mediator. I am a wife, mother and a step mom. I have 4 children ages 26 to 40 and 2 bonus children ages 14 and 19. I am married to my best friend.

I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups to problem solve and uncover new areas of positive engagement. Sometimes people get stuck in what they are doing. We tend to do the same things looking for different results.

I enjoy working with people to help them clarify their goals and move forward with plans to help achieve what they are after.

I have a particular interest in helping people regain relationships. With couples it is incorporating the past and the future. Today's families are complicated; navigating step families, parent child, couple's and in-law relationships are not things they teach us in school. Knowledgeable support can be key.

My approach to counseling is through the idea that if you understand how your mind is working you will have more control over anxiety, depression and reactivity that steals from your relationships. I believe that you are the expert of your own life and with clarity more options are available to you. Through Brainspotting I can assist you in healing your own wounds from the past.

Jessica Ayers of Soul Good Counseling LLC

LPC-9312

I completed my studies in Marriage and Family Therapy with an emphasis in trauma, loss and grief at Northwest Nazarene University. My undergraduate studies are in developmental and behavioral psychology. I am a lifelong learner and find so much passion in consistently growing as an individual, partner, and mother. When I am not in the counseling setting I can be found in nature riding my dirt bikes, paddleboarding, and camping with my amazing 3 kids.

While completing my graduate studies, I found myself being drawn to incorporating a mind, body and spirit approach in counseling which has become the foundation of my counseling practice. I love working with couples and individuals seeking to strengthen their relationships through attachment theories and growing through their past traumas. I firmly believe in meeting clients where they are and supporting their unique journey through a strength based approach.

We all go through difficult times. We experience trauma, uncertainty, and change, leading to overwhelming feelings and emotions, relational conflict, and life-functioning problems. Feelings of anxiety, depression, loneliness, disconnection, and isolation can grow bigger making every day harder. Relationships can become strained which can be hard to navigate getting back on track. I am here to help with that.

As a marriage and family, state registered therapist intern I work with individuals and families to narrow down the problems, focus on strengths, and create realistic and impactful goals for change.

I completed my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University in March 2023. I have worked as a preschool teacher, ran a preschool for children and families at the Reno, Nevada homeless shelter, and worked as a behavioral therapist before settling into therapy. I am originally from Nevada but have lived in Idaho for 3 years. I have a sweet little corgi named Opie and we love to explore the outdoors.
