ABOUT FAITH
Faith is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate who earned her Masters in Mental Health Counseling from Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando. She has experience working in a community mental health clinic in Orlando, Florida that provided low-cost counseling to people from a diverse set of backgrounds.
Faith personally understands the courage required to take the first step toward personal counseling, and finds sitting and partnering with clients in their most vulnerable places to be an honor. She has often found that our most difficult places can also be the places where we find our greatest strengths. Faith’s hope is to foster safety and trust as the strong foundation for the work of counseling she will do with clients. She believes in the power of choice, compassion, and curiosity in the counseling relationship. While her demeanor is warm and thoughtful, she is also known for her passion, honesty, and laughter. Faith respects all client values and beliefs, aiming to empower her clients toward a mental and emotional health that is most authentic to them. '
In professional practice, she aims to help clients heal and improve their lives through multiple modalities of therapy, including Interpersonal Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - with a foundation in Attachment Theory. She particularly enjoy using these therapies to treat Trauma, Relational Trauma, Sexual Compulsions, and Relational Issues. She primarily works with college students and women of all ages.
Faith lives in Durham with her cat, Ducky. In her free time she enjoys reading, watching movies, and sharing meals with friends.
