Find Your Counselor

I am passionate about holding space for healing and creating opportunities for sustainable change for individuals from all walks of life. I am a seasoned professional with over a decade of experience providing therapeutic support to children, teens, and adults. I celebrate the unique perspectives and worldviews that each of my clients and colleagues bring to our work together. I support my clients in identifying and utilizing their existing strengths to enhance resilience, confidence, and authenticity in their daily lives. My holistic approach to counseling incorporates evidence-based techniques and a warm, collaborative style to ensure that my clients feel empowered and engaged in their therapeutic journeys. Specializing in complex trauma, depression, anxiety, and childhood emotional and behavioral health, I employ an integrative and personalized modality that meets each client where they are, providing supportive connections and genuine empathy to nurture growth and emotional wellness. I utilize an integrative approach and am trained in several evidence-based treatment modalities, including: ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ARC (Attachment, Regulation, Competency), SMART (Sensory Motor Arousal Regulation Therapy), CPP (Child Parent Psychotherapy), PCIT (Parent Child Interaction Therapy), Theraplay, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Play Therapy.

I am a mother to three adult children, a grandmother to the sweetest girl, and the wife of an exceptionally gifted husband. As a therapist, I've faced challenges in treating people to a standard of health or healing. Every medical profession, except for mental health, has a specific standard that defines when a client is considered healthy or healed. The optometrist corrects vision to 20/20, a dentist ensures teeth are straight and free of cavities, and an orthopedic doctor restores broken bones to their proper alignment. Therapists are called to help restore, heal, and empower clients to move forward in life. Furthermore, as the wife of a retired military veteran, I have great admiration and love for the men and women who serve our great country. I am passionate about helping those who are hurting due to military deployments, separations, divorce, and anyone who simply needs a listening ear to share their story. I have survived deployments, year-long separations, single parenting, and moving from state to state and overseas. I have endured many life hardships, fought personal battles, and emerged victorious. In addition, I have worked with individuals on parole and probation, those dealing with bipolar disorder, depression, trauma, schizophrenia, and addiction-related issues. I enjoy working with adults. I specialize in: Military Lifestyle, depression, anxiety, co-dependency, addiction, and marital infidelity. My counseling style seeks to meet the needs of those I serve. I am a faith-based counselor with experience in CBT, DBT techniques, reality-focused therapy, and EMDR training. The most daunting challenge for any client seeking help is making that first contact and walking through the door. There is victory on the other side if you are willing to take the first step in seeking it. My door is wide open and ready to help those who are weary, downtrodden, or who simply need affirmation or encouragement. My clients say I listen intently, engage passionately, and have the ability to be direct, courageous, yet kind and empathetic.

We all need a safe space to express ourselves, to be seen, heard, and validated without judgment. I am passionate about helping people feel emotionally safe. People come to therapy for different reasons, but I believe they need to be seen, heard, and not judged for how they feel or think. I am dedicated to providing my clients the freedom to be themselves and guiding them in discovering who they aspire to be. I equip my clients with the necessary skills and empower them to choose and explore what works best for their personal lives and personalities to achieve their distinct goals. I have experience with adolescents and adults who struggle with PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. I apply a mixture of person-centered, psychoeducation, CBT, DBT, strength-based, mindfulness, and psychodynamic therapy. My duty as a therapist is to help increase my clients' self-awareness, create healthier patterns, and gain healthy coping skills that they can utilize daily. I also use humor in sessions! As someone familiar with experiences of abuse, homelessness, depression, and anxiety, I believe that anyone's difficult past can help them discover a better version of themselves for a higher purpose. Things happen for a reason, and people have the power to choose how their life experiences shape their lives moving forward. It will be an honor to walk with you.

I am deeply committed to fostering a safe, trauma-informed, and therapeutic space where clients feel empowered to embrace their most authentic selves. I believe in the innate resilience of people, recognizing that even in the face of adversity, there exists an incredible capacity for growth and transformation. The boundless possibility of healing is at the core of my work, and I approach each client with empathy, understanding, and genuine curiosity about their lived experiences. My role is to witness and support each individual’s unique journey, no matter what shape it takes, honoring the highs, lows, and everything in between. As Carl Rogers so eloquently said, "A person is a fluid process, not a fixed and static entity; a flowing river of change, not a fixed quantity of traits." This belief inspires me to meet clients where they are, holding space for their ongoing evolution and helping them navigate the complexities of their personal path with compassion and hope.

One of the most profound forms of self-love is the decision we make that we are worthy of being fully heard and seen. 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 towards 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 individuals, couples, and families, I have witnessed the magic of therapy and the unwavering resilience of humans. You are deserving of living a life free of the weights you carry. If you are willing to have me on your side, I would be honored to support you.

"It's not about what it is, it's about what it can become." One of my favorite quotes from Dr. Seuss; his wise words sum up my approach to working with any client, from preschool age to midlife. I believe in transparency and client empowerment; YOU are the one who decides what your goals are. My hope and my goal are to help you work through whatever obstacles you may face and develop a roadmap for success. With several years of experience in trauma therapy, I believe in establishing a safe environment, and I promise all of my clients that their voices will be heard. I look forward to working with you and discovering what can become of the journey we take together!

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'm a licensed professional counselor candidate (LPCC in Colorado, LPCA in South Carolina) with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported, just as you are. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready to explore what’s next, we’ll work together in a way that centers your values, voice, and sense of agency. I draw from a variety of approaches based on what fits you best, and we’ll move at a pace that respects your needs, whether we’re focusing on the present, making space for the past, or imagining the future. I’m especially drawn to work that explores how early experiences shape who we are and how we relate to the world. Many of the people I work with are carrying the weight of developmental or complex trauma- wounds that can be hard to name but show up in powerful ways over time. Together, we’ll gently untangle those patterns and work toward greater clarity, connection, and healing. I have a special interest in supporting individuals navigating adoption-related experiences, identity questions, anxiety, and the layered grief that can accompany growth.

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!

I am a person-centered therapist whose main focus is on what you need as a client. I believe that therapy should be tailored to each individual, which is why I use a variety of therapeutic methods in an eclectic style designed to suit your unique situation. Whether it's exploring emotions, addressing challenges, or building new coping strategies, I strive to create a supportive and non-judgmental space where you feel empowered to grow and heal. I am always open to trying new approaches that align with your needs and preferences because I understand that each journey is personal. My ultimate goal is to help you discover what would make your life more fulfilling, balanced, prosperous, and manageable, while fostering your ability to thrive in your own way. Together, we will work towards creating meaningful and lasting change.
