CLINICIAN
Hi, I’m Faith.
I provide virtual therapy for adults across Tennessee who often appear highly capable on the outside, while privately feeling overwhelmed, self-critical, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from themselves in relationships. Many of my clients are thoughtful, intelligent people who have spent years pushing through stress, masking struggles, or organizing their lives around performance, responsibility, and caring for others. Many are also neurodivergent, including autistic and ADHD adults seeking a better understanding of themselves and how they move through the world.
As a Certified Autism Specialist and therapist, I have a particular interest in helping autistic and ADHD adults better understand themselves, navigate burnout and masking, and build lives that feel more sustainable and authentic. I also work with clients navigating anxiety, perfectionism, identity questions, and relationship patterns that leave them feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves.
Before becoming a therapist, I practiced law after graduating with honors from law school. While that path taught me a great deal about achievement, perfectionism, and high-pressure environments, I ultimately found therapy to be far more meaningful and aligned with the kind of work I wanted to do in the world.
As someone who is also ADHD, I deeply appreciate the complexity of being both highly capable and chronically overwhelmed. Many of my clients have spent years minimizing their own struggles because they “function well” externally, even while feeling exhausted internally.
A major focus of my work is helping clients recognize and change patterns of self-abandonment in relationships. This can look like over-accommodating others, suppressing needs, losing themselves in relationships, or constantly managing themselves to avoid conflict, disappointment, or being perceived as “too much.” Therapy often involves building greater self-trust, emotional clarity, and authenticity so that your life reflects who you actually are, not just who you’ve learned to be for others.
Clients often describe me as sensitive, aware, gentle, and responsive. My style is adaptive, practical, and insight-oriented. Depending on your goals, our work may include tools and strategies, executive functioning support, behavioral changes, relational exploration, direct feedback, or deeper processing around shame, identity, burnout, and “never enough” thinking. I draw from humanistic, CBT, and DBT approaches in ways that fit your individual needs rather than forcing you into a one-size-fits-all framework.
I strive to create a space that feels collaborative, affirming, and genuinely human. I’m happy to work with clients from diverse backgrounds and identities, including LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and secular communities. My hope is that therapy helps you suffer less unnecessarily, understand yourself more clearly, and build a life that feels sustainable, fulfilling, and authentically yours.
