Clinical Approach
Faith adapts her approach to the person in front of her rather than expecting every client to fit one therapy model. Faith draws from:
- Person-Centered Therapy
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- DBT-informed strategies
- Solution-Focused Therapy
- Motivational Interviewing
- Trauma-informed and strengths-based care
Her High Fidelity Wraparound training shapes how she sees each client. As Faith puts it, “We have to treat everything, not just one thing.” That means paying attention to relationships, safety, housing, support, and everyday stress, not only symptoms.
When clinically appropriate, she also helps clients identify when additional care or a higher level of support may be needed.
Beyond the Clinical: Walk and Talk Therapy
Walk and talk therapy is an outdoor counseling session where you and your clinician walk side by side on a pre-planned route. Moving and walking side by side, instead of sitting face to face, can make it easier to open up, particularly for clients managing trauma, anxiety, or avoidance.
For Faith, the moments that matter most are often small ones. She says what reminds her why she does this work is seeing a client take a deep breath and finally release. Walk and talk gives clients room for that kind of moment, away from the office.
Faith offers two formats:
If you need to get up and outside to clear your mind, Faith is happy to meet you there. Learn more about walk and talk therapy.
Lived Experience That Informs Faith’s Work
Faith has openly shared that she experienced foster care, homelessness, trauma, and instability growing up. She also knows personally what it is like to be labeled the “problem child.”
That history helps her recognize what a person may be going through beneath the surface. Her clients tell her she has described their experience perfectly. Often, she doesn’t need to say much for someone to feel understood.
Faith’s lived experience informs her work, but it does not replace her clinical training. Her clients’ stories remain their own.
Training & Professional Background
Faith’s four years of professional experience in crisis response, child welfare, and work with foster youth are deepened by her own history.
She began her career as a certified peer support specialist on a mobile response team, providing crisis de-escalation alongside local law enforcement. During that time, she shadowed the team’s therapist for two and a half years. She later moved into care coordination, prevention, and child welfare. Her graduate internship focused on work with foster youth, and her experience also includes advocacy and community-based work.
