Faith started her journey as a healing professional at Blue Ridge Health Services in 2015. As a Physician Assistant in the Community Health Center, she gained experience supporting patients as they work toward their goals of healing in a resource-limited setting. During this time, she gained experience working with patients who present with a variety of psychiatric conditions.  She has a particular interest in working with patients who struggle with substance use disorder and chronic pain. Over time, she came to recognize that prescribed medications, while at times very useful, are not the only tool that should be utilized in one’s healing journey.  As a result, she sought out further training in Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) and the Internal Family Systems (IFS) Modality of Therapy. Through these trainings, she has expanded the skills with which she can draw to help patients improve their mental health. 

Her pursuit to help others started as an undergrad at the University of Arizona, where she graduated from the College of Sciences with a Bachelor of Science in Molecular and Cellular Biology and Spanish. In 2015 she earned a Master of Science as a Physician Assistant from South University in Savannah, GA. She became trained in PRT in March 2022 and became a Level 1 IFS Practitioner in January 2023. While she enjoyed living in the Lowcountry, she deeply connected with the mountains and with nature.   She is bilingual, speaking both Spanish and English, and looks forward to serving Spanish-speaking patients.  

In her free moments, Faith enjoys spending time with her family and being outdoors, including hiking to waterfalls around Western North Carolina. When she can be caught indoors, she enjoys a good read, especially historical fiction, and spending time with her dogs Luna, Boomer, and Hazel.
