Find Your Counselor

As a therapist, I believe I work for you because no one knows you better than you know yourself. I will walk with you on your journey to healing and help you discover the roots of your issues. I am committed to supporting you in finding solutions that will facilitate your growth, bring you peace, and enable you to embrace your authentic self, living a life of fulfillment and prosperity. I am well-educated in addiction studies, trauma, and co-occurring disorders. My goal as your therapist is to provide you with a safe space to be yourself, connect with your honest emotions, and express whatever you need to say without judgment. I emphasize an approach that includes compassion, authenticity, and understanding as we work together to find courage, embrace healing, and actualize the potential that has been within you all along. I feel passionate about trauma-informed therapy perspectives, Internal Family Systems, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing practices, and mindfulness skills for healing, balance, and for connecting to our internal experiences.

Emotional pain can cast shadows on our lives that break our hearts. We become trapped in feelings of worthlessness, emptiness, and brokenness. We struggle with distorted beliefs that something is irreversibly wrong with us. It's hard to feel not only that we are missing something but also that we are not worthy enough to have that something. This can leave us aching with sorrow. There is good news: you have a true self that is completely whole and knows how to find peace. My mission is to accompany you in your shadows and unlock your inner power to heal. I’ll walk with you to the other side of your pain, where personal growth and healing occur. There is light and hope. I aim to help you step into the life you desire, become aware of how your thoughts shape your world, and guide you in shifting them to reflect the life you’ve always wanted to create. I believe that everyone has a vision for themselves and their lives that they wish to unlock. I want to help you find the key and show you how our lives are stories that we write, pen to paper, each day. I believe that you can transform every moment of your life to become exactly who you've always hoped to be. My experience has shown me that human beings comprise parts that yearn to connect in a healthy way. At times, these parts are in conflict with one another, blocking our path to success. I would like to help you achieve wholeness with all the beautiful parts of yourself. A key component of my approach as a counselor is to bring awareness to how we create our reality. I guide you in shifting maladaptive beliefs to create an empowering story in which you are fully engaged in your experience. I offer a safe space for you to express and understand yourself and heal. I have extensive knowledge of therapeutic tools that I tailor to each individual client to best fit their needs and goals. My main areas of specialization involve working with maladaptive coping skills and unhealthy perceptions of self, others, and the world. Much of my prior clinical experience has been with male offenders in correctional facilities, where I conducted both individual and group counseling. I worked with individuals who struggled with severe mental illness, interpersonal problems, anger management, thought distortions, maladaptive coping skills, and criminal behavior. I taught and guided individuals in using therapeutic tools and techniques to regulate emotions, manage relationship conflict, and ease symptoms of trauma. I am passionate about personal, professional, spiritual, and emotional growth. I believe that we all have the ability to consistently evolve and continue creating the best version of our lives every day. I am always striving to learn the newest and most effective therapeutic techniques to increase my knowledge and expertise, in order to help you as best as I can. I look forward to walking down your path with you and seeing all the places you'll go. It's time to become the hero of your story.

If you find yourself here, take the next step for yourself and allow me to help you achieve the peace and growth you deserve to move past a difficult time. Whether you’re navigating loss, anxiety, stress, or other challenges, I am here to provide support tailored to your unique needs. I utilize a variety of evidence-based tools and methods, working collaboratively with you to identify and build on your strengths as you overcome obstacles. My approach is compassionate and client-centered, ensuring that you feel heard, valued, and respected throughout your journey. I am deeply committed to creating a safe, nonjudgmental, and validating space where you can explore your emotions and experiences freely. My passion for mental health advocacy drives me to stay informed on the latest research and therapeutic practices, ensuring I can offer the highest quality care. Together, we can work toward building resilience, fostering self-awareness, and empowering you to lead a more fulfilling life.

Welcome—I'm Jorlyse. Whether you're feeling stuck or just curious about what therapy could offer, you're in the right place! With over 10 years of experience in the mental health field, I specialize in working with teens and adults who are navigating life transitions, stress, anxiety, boundaries, burnout, identity questions, self-esteem challenges and more. I bring a warm, supportive presence to therapy and believe healing begins with feeling truly seen. With me, you’ll find a therapy style that is collaborative, flexible, and solution-focused. We’ll draw from a variety of evidence-based modalities, tailoring each session to fit you as an individual. Together, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you while maximizing your strengths and growth along the way. I often incorporate humor, creativity, and real-life tools to make therapy feel more conversational and less “clinical”. My goals are to help you feel understood and supported while challenging you in ways that lead to meaningful growth. By prioritizing and creating a safe, non-judgmental space for you, you can always show up as your authentic self. Outside of the therapy space, I love listening to music, baking, spending time with loved ones, raising my Yorkie, and finding moments of calm at the pool or beach! If you're ready to explore the awesome possibilities therapy and self-care can provide to your life, then it would be my honor to support you!

Hi and welcome to your journey toward a better, more authentic you. I am a clinical mental health counselor who strives to support you in achieving your goals. I hope to walk this journey with you, providing a safe space for you to be vulnerable and discover your inner strength and beauty. I am passionate about helping adolescents with eating disorders. With my background working with this population and understanding the personal effects this illness can have, I aim to empower you on your road to recovery and instill the belief that recovery is not only possible but also worth it! I received my bachelor’s in Psychology and Biohealth Sciences from Oregon State University in 2017 and my master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2022 from Adams State University. I completed my practicum in crisis services and my internship in an intensive outpatient program for children and adolescents. I have experience in community mental health, including crisis services, addiction, school-based counseling, and outpatient behavioral health services, as well as in an intensive outpatient program for adolescents with eating disorders. In these various roles, I have worked with clients experiencing the effects of ADHD, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, trauma, and behavioral disorders. The therapeutic approaches I use include Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strength-based Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I am also trained in Child-Centered Play Therapy. My hope is to provide my clients with skills, identify their strengths, and eliminate barriers to assist them in moving toward healing and gaining autonomy. I was born in Oregon and raised in Montana. I moved to Colorado with my husband in 2019, where we are now raising our children. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, watching professional sports, coaching soccer, reading, and playing with my children (both two-legged and four-legged).

I believe every individual has the capacity to define who they are and who they want to become, regardless of their past. My job is to help you reconnect, redefine, and re-imagine who you are by discovering what matters most to you. My primary goal as a counselor is to create a space for every individual to explore their lives and find opportunities to grow and create the change they want to see. I take a holistic approach to the counseling experience by exploring nutrition and physical activity with a unique therapeutic approach that combines CBT, Existentialism, Shadow Work, and Dream Analysis. My mission is to help you gain control over Stress and Anxiety, understand and transform past Trauma, navigate Life Transitions, and explore faith-based and spiritual concerns by re-establishing broken or lost connections with who you are, and what is most important to you.

I believe that life and mental health are a journey. My job is to walk alongside you on this journey until you feel comfortable navigating life on your own. Therapy is essential for unlocking the best versions of ourselves. I am an LPCC in the state of Colorado, and I look forward to working with you. I have worked in mental health for the past seven years, including roles as a mental health technician in a hospital, answering crisis intervention phone lines, providing in-person crisis intervention, and offering individual clinical mental health therapy. It can be challenging to navigate life's twists and turns alone. Therapy provides a safe space to explore our inner selves, thoughts, and feelings, gaining insights to overcome obstacles and achieve personal growth. As your therapist, my role is to provide unwavering support and guidance as you embark on this journey of self-discovery.

I've been fortunate to practice as a therapist since my internship/practicum as a therapist in 2011 and graduating with my Master of Arts in Professional Counseling in May of 2012. My career began in a practice that specialized in general mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, parenting support, and couples counseling to treating abuse survivors of varying ages and degrees of severity. After a few years in that practice, I began work as a Clinical Coordinator and Counselor who's caseload consisted of mostly children, teens and their families with the goal of healing trauma and building a safe, loving and respectful environment for all. Over the course of the last decade I have run my own private practice where I've done work with couples, grief and loss, relationship difficulty, divorce, trauma, teens, parenting support, chronic illness and managing various life challenges and mental health concerns my clients need support with. At present, I am in the final stages of completing my Doctorate of Education in Community Care and Counseling with a Traumatology emphasis. This has created opportunity for me to learn even more in the field of trauma and therapeutic treatments that support sustainable healing. I have an eclectic therapeutic approach that has been developed by my 14+ years of therapeutic experience, trainings/practice and my own personal experience as a wife, mother, woman and person navigating life. My treatment style is tailored to what the client needs, honesty in facing the pain or difficulty that client may be managing, while holding hope for healing and a better future. I am a big believer that trauma and life experience wounds can be managed/soothed and no-one is beyond redemption if they choose to start the process of healing. I am looking forward to working with you, your family and your significant others.

While therapy can feel intimidating or uncomfortable, it is my priority to create a safe environment where clients can feel authentically themselves. I approach the therapeutic process as walking alongside you as we work toward the areas you feel are most important to you. I value warmth, genuineness, empathy, learning, and our relationship as the most essential components of therapy. From my experiences working with adults, I have witnessed the capabilities of therapy and the unwavering resilience of humans. You deserve to live a life free of the weights you carry. If you are willing to have me by your side, I would be honored to support you.

Hello and welcome! Navigating life transitions and interpersonal relationships can feel overwhelming and complex, especially for those with marginalized experiences. As a clinician, it is one of my priorities to provide therapeutic support that is culturally responsive and tailored to your individual life experiences, identities, and needs. My focus areas include working through intergenerational trauma, navigating complex family dynamics, and supporting those trying to break out of harmful cycles. I also enjoy helping clients through life changes or transitions, relationship conflicts, attachment issues, challenges with self-esteem, and anxiety and trauma disorders. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is collaborative and fosters a safe space for learning, unlearning, and healing. While starting this process can feel challenging, with the right therapist, it can be a journey that brings meaningful changes and fulfillment to your life. I'd be honored to walk that journey alongside you!
