How Faith works
People come to Faith for issues like low self-esteem, communication problems, codependency, and feeling empty after major life changes. She also supports work around abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, infertility struggles, and forgiveness or guilt issues. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person.
Faith combines attachment-focused ideas with client-centered listening and skill-based tools from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches. This mix aims to help people build more stable relationships and cope better day to day. Her work is focused on practical change and clearer relationships.
New clients start by sharing what bothers them and what they hope will change, then Faith and the client make a simple plan to move forward.

Online support options
Approach-driven care for online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early bonds shape current relationships and helps people understand patterns that repeat in adult connections. It can be useful for those who notice recurring hurts in close relationships and want clearer ways to relate.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, with the therapist offering nonjudgmental listening and support. This approach helps people feel understood and decide what changes matter most to them.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. It works well for people wanting concrete steps to manage mood and stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person's needs. If one path isn't helping, adjustments are made together until the client and therapist agree on a plan.
Online sessions can be done by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and needs. Video calls support face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect in writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum as work proceeds.
