As a dedicated counselor, I guide individuals through the complexities of emotional well-being, relational patterns, and personal growth. My work is rooted in existential philosophy, blending eclectic and trauma-informed approaches to empower clients to explore their authentic selves and navigate life’s challenges with resilience and clarity. I believe in the profound impact of social connectedness on mental health and self-esteem, and I’m passionate about helping clients build relationships that foster trust, empathy, and belonging. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, and I offer compassionate support to those seeking to enhance their connections with themselves and others. Through a strength-based lens, I work collaboratively with clients to embrace vulnerability, acknowledge their unique stories, and empower them to make meaningful lasting change. True growth happens in relationship with others and with oneself.

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 have been in the field of social work for over 20 years and have experience in mental health, working with youth, adults, and families in various settings. I have a passion for helping others and am here to create a safe space as I support you through your journey. This journey is about you. Therefore, you will set the goals you want to achieve, and I can empower you with the tools to conquer them. In my free time, you will find me focusing on my own self-care while hiking, biking, running, or golfing.

I believe everyone should have access to counseling and the opportunity to feel truly seen, heard, and supported. With experience working with children, adults, individuals living with substance use, and those impacted by social injustice, I bring a person-centered, solution-focused, and trauma-informed approach to every interaction. My lived experience deepens my empathy, while cultural humility keeps me grounded and open to continual learning. It’s a privilege to walk alongside others on their path to healing and empowerment.

I am passionate about helping people uncover their strengths and navigate life’s challenges with compassion and understanding. I take pride in building meaningful, collaborative relationships with my clients. My approach to counseling is client-centered and trauma-informed, blending tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, interpersonal therapy, and mindfulness to meet each client's unique needs. I believe in a whole-body approach to mental health, recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and emotions in the healing process. I value connection and find witnessing my clients’ resilience and growth deeply rewarding. I have worked with adolescents and adults navigating a variety of concerns, including eating disorders, domestic violence, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. No matter the concern, my goal is to create a warm, non-judgmental space where clients feel empowered to share their stories and create meaningful change.
