Private practice (individual)

Authenticity is essential to me, so I would like to take some time here to share with you parts of my life that make me human.
My name Faiza traces its roots to Arabic origin and translates to the “holder of wisdom and knowledge.” People have called me an old soul for as long as I can remember.
I was born in Pakistan with a deep sense of empathy for humankind. As a child I witnessed various traumatic events including, war, emotional, physical, sexual abuse, extreme poverty, and systems of oppression such as patriarchy, exploitation, physical, sexual violence, powerlessness, and marginalization.
Thankfully, my family moved to Canada in an attempt to begin a life in a just and democratic society. Unfortunately, conflict, abuse and intergenerational trauma moved with us.
My areas of therapeutic interest holistic healing, women’s issues, particularly South Asian women or BIPOC women, and acute, complex, attachment, or intergenerational trauma.
I believe we can be empowered to find our own answers. I believe we all have an intuitive voice and inner wisdom guiding us. As a therapist, my role is to supportively help you find it, voice it, and live it. I believe there is always hope, especially when it feels like there is none. So please know no matter how difficult things may seem right now, you can make it through. All you need is a little support and guidance.
Allow me to walk with you as you embark on your journey!
