I am a Certified Canadian Counsellor and the founder of FYSO Counselling in Edmonton. My approach is rooted in attachment theory, trauma-informed care, and emotionally focused therapy, with a passion for helping people navigate grief, relational wounds, identity struggles, life transitions, and the lasting impact of spiritually harmful or high-control environments.
I believe that healing happens through safe relationships, honest reflection, and meaningful connection. I work from an integrative approach that draws from EFT, narrative therapy, CBT, ACT, psychodynamic principles, and faith-sensitive counselling practices. My work emphasizes compassion, authenticity, emotional awareness, and practical growth — creating space for clients to process both the emotional and spiritual complexities of their stories without judgment.
With a background in both counselling and pastoral/missions ministry, I bring a unique understanding of the emotional realities people face through loss, uncertainty, caregiving, and major life transitions. I am especially passionate about supporting individuals navigating complex relationships, grief and loss, codependency, religious and spiritual abuse and trauma, and questions surrounding identity, belonging, and meaning.
My goal is to offer counselling that feels genuine, grounded, and human — a place where people can show up honestly, feel understood, and begin moving toward healing and healthier connection with themselves, with others, and with God.
