“As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I am passionate about caring for the whole person. I believe mental health affects every aspect of our lives – relationships, occupation, health. Therefore, I believe quality psychiatric care is necessary to have a fulfilling life.”
Faith believes each person is the expert on their own life. She likes to take a collaborative approach to care. Clients can expect a warm, validating and non-judgmental space during meetings. Faith prefers to listen more than talk in order to get a sense of each person and their concerns, and then works with clients to develop a mutually agreed upon plan of action.
Faith joined Pine Rest in 2007, starting in the Health Information Management department as a medical coder after earning her Bachelor’s degree in Health Information Management from Ferris State University. She later pursued nursing, obtaining her BSN from Grand Valley State University in 2012. As a registered nurse, she gained experience in Pine Rest inpatient care, partial hospitalization programs and the ECT (Neuromodulation) Clinic. Since completing her MSN at St. Louis University in 2018, Faith has been working as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and is a Board Certified by the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
