I aim to create a warm and welcoming environment that encourages my clients to do the work they have come to do.

Everyone’s reason for seeking the support of a professional therapist is unique, and the decision to do so isn’t always easy. Whatever reason brought you here, and wherever you are in your journey, I hope that you feel proud of yourself for taking this step.

My approach to therapy is grounded in respect and curiosity. I work to create a space for dialogue that honors contradictions, unearths complex meanings, and enables learning and growth. Who you are, what is on your mind, what you are struggling with, what you care about – these questions are at the heart of the process. This means that each therapy relationship is unique and evolves over time. What emerges is a greater sense of freedom, competence, and connection to others.

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected—whether from themselves, their loved ones, or their goals. They may be navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, or simply trying to break generational patterns that no longer serve them. What they’re really looking for is clarity, relief, and a space where they can feel genuinely understood. Together, we work to explore the deeper roots of distress, build on their strengths, and move toward a life that feels more grounded, intentional, and aligned with who they want to be.

Hi! My name is Faizal. I spend my days supporting others to improve their well-being. And it’s a wonderful thing!

As a clinician, I believe that therapy should be a mutual process in which the client and therapist work together to address the concerns and needs of each unique individual client. I believe each person has a unique capacity for growth and drive for self-actualization. When done with empathy and acceptance for an individual, therapy can be a process by which the client achieves their perception of change, growth, and healing.
