Hello –
I am Dr. Faith
I specialize in guiding women on their journey toward thriving and improving their well-being. My approach is holistic and personalized, focusing on an individual’s strengths and goals.
Through my executive coaching, consulting work, and speaking engagements, my mission is to minimize disparities in mental health care and advocate for wellness among professional women. I am dedicated to raising awareness about the unique challenges faced by women in professional environments and providing them with the tools and support needed to overcome these obstacles.
By lifting one another up, we can all live more meaningful and purposeful lives.

By taking a holistic approach to these topics, we can work together to create better mental health systems and flourishing communities.
As a speaker, I strive to inspire and educate audiences on the importance of mental health and wellness. My goal is to create a ripple effect, where the benefits of improved mental health and well-being extend beyond the individual to positively impact families, communities, organizations, and society as a whole.

I want to foster a standard of better mental health outcomes. Who’s with me?
Together, we can work toward a future where quality mental health care is accessible and equitable for all – where professional women can thrive in every aspect of their lives.
Get to Know Me
I’m a Philadelphia native who understands the challenges professional women face. I use my unique background and perspective to engage with women from all walks of life.

I know that professional women often feel undervalued and pressured to perform in high-stake situations while juggling multiple priorities without the support and resources they need to succeed. That’s why I aim to connect with women across the country and spark conversations about their executive careers and wellness.

I’ve committed over two decades of work to developing better systems of mental health support. I care deeply about improving health outcomes for all communities.
That passion goes way back.
During my formative years, my mother coped with a chronic mental illness, necessitating my brief stay in foster care before being embraced by a compassionate adoptive family at the age of six. Raised by devoted parents – both steadfast pastors who continue to serve – I was not only showered with love and encouragement but also instilled with a profound sense of empathy and the value of selfless service.
As I matured, this upbringing prompted introspection, leading me to ponder: How can I make a meaningful impact on as many lives as possible? How can I foster connections and empower others to lead more fulfilling lives? What unique contributions can I offer, not only to individuals but also to my community?
Throughout my journey, these questions have guided my actions and shaped my endeavors. I’ve engaged in direct service across diverse environments, from supporting ob/gyn patients grappling with depression to advocating for children in foster care and assisting survivors of domestic violence.
My career trajectory as a clinical psychologist, specializing in treating anxiety and depression and facilitating transitions for college students, graduate students, and mid-career professionals, naturally evolved into executive coaching. For over a decade, I’ve had the privilege of guiding executives and professionals, equipping them with leadership skills that not only propelled their careers but also enriched their personal lives, enabling them to leave their own indelible mark on the world.

In my most recent role as Chief Executive Officer of Community Behavioral Health (CBH), I managed a budget exceeding $1 billion, overseeing the behavioral health managed care organization for the City of Philadelphia. Today, as a Principal at Health Management Associates (HMA), I leverage my expertise in mental health, integrated care, health equity, and innovative technology to assist clients in enhancing outcomes for the populations they serve.
I am grateful for my recent awards and look forward to continuing to foster change:
- Inducted into the Drexel 100 (Drexel University Alumni Hall of Fame) in 2024
- Awarded as one of Philadelphia Business Journal’s Women of Distinction in 2022
- Named a Healthcare Power Player by the Philadelphia Metro in 2022
- Received the Lebow College of Business Community Service Award from Drexel in 2022
- Appointed to the Behavioral Health Commission for Adult Mental Health by former Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf in 2022
When I’m not doing the work I love, I’m enjoying the many other things that make my life full – including traveling, spending time with friends and family, enjoying a good meal, and investing my time and talents into my community.
I’d love to hear from you!
Let’s uncover how we can work together to create a framework for better mental health outcomes.
