About Me
Faith is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Nationally Certified Counselor who works with children, adolescents, adults, and families through a creative, compassionate, and developmentally as well as culturally informed lens. With an extensive background in working in multiple mental health settings as a therapist as well as mental health technician, she feels drawn to working with children as well as adolescents and is able to understand and connect with the unique challenges they face. Specific clinical focuses are working with young people experiencing anxiety, neurodivergence, difficult life events, or navigating emotional and behavioral struggles.
Faith specializes in Play Therapy, Expressive Arts, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Approaches, Strengths-Based Approaches, and Mindfulness. She has additional training in Trauma-Informed Counseling and takes the clinical perspective of focusing on the whole person rather than merely focusing on the client’s presenting issue.
Her therapeutic style is integrative and client centered. This allows her to show up in the counseling room with a unique mix of structure, curiosity, and creativity to establish a foundation of trust and respect to meet the client where they are. Faith strives to establish a safe and inclusive space to help foster resilience, growth, and healing. Art, storytelling, play, or more practical and clinical strategies are some of the many avenues that Faith takes when working with young clients. Working and collaborating with client families naturally aligns with her approach to help strength the family system as a whole.
Faith earned her Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University and has specialized training working with a wide range of diverse clients throughout the lifespan, navigating ADHD, ASD, Anxiety, as well as developmental and life transitions.

Outside of Work
Out of the office, Faith enjoys spending time with her fiancé, extended family, friends, and their dog. Some of her beloved hobbies are being active whether it’s in the gym or outside walking the dog. Cooking, baking, crafts, reading, writing, listening to music, and exploring new places are all things that bring Faith joy.
