About me
"As we think, so we are." is a theme central to my counseling practice. As an individual therapist with 25 years of experience, I have helped people arrive to a place of self-discovery. Together, my clients are able to tap in to traumatic experiences, family of origin issues, relationship challenges and explore their emotions to release, re-focus and find relief. I graduated from Loyola University in Chicago with a Masters of Social Work. My formal training, coupled with counseling hours have provided strategies and solutions to relieve depression, anxiety, emotional dysregulation and focus. Let's work together on your journey to health and healing.

Faizah is honestly heaven sent. From the very first visit we had I felt comfortable. Faizah has a great way of putting things into perspective so it makes since to you. Faizah has created a space where I can just be me. For the fist time I feel heard and seen. I am truly grateful for Faizah and all she has done to help me.

I've only had one session but Faizah was very easy to talk to and seemed very kind. She has checked in with me and I feel like I can trust her.

Faizah has been fantastic, I'm feeling seen and heard. She has given me so much hope in our two simple visits. I'm excited to continue!

Even though we only “see” each other once a week, Faizah checks in with me daily through my journal readings, and as some in the middle of a family crisis, I really appreciate that! Especially because I trust and respect her insights and expertise. She listens, gives great feedback, and offers tools that work! Thank you, Faizah—you are an awesome mentor and coach!
