I am Sunaina, a highly skilled South Asian counselor and Social Worker who is dedicated to supporting the Desi community. Having moved to Canada from Pakistan in the early 90s, I have made it my home and understand the challenges of growing up in the West as a Desi.

 

With my extensive experience in tackling tough issues such as sexual violence, human trafficking, child protection, and family therapy, I am well-equipped to help others navigate and heal from life's curveballs. I am certified in various therapies, including Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training.

 

As a fluent speaker of Hindi/Urdu, I am committed to maintaining our cultural roots while creating a healthier balance between both worlds. Through my platform, I aim to empower other Desis to "decode Desi Culture" and learn to navigate it in a healthy way for themselves, their relationships, and future generations.
