Catechumen in the Orthodox Church, professional counselor, wounded helper, author, armchair theologian and amateur poet. I'm a pensive and hopeful dreamer with tendencies toward wild fits of hope, which sometimes loom near a furrowed brow.

Come back to see how "Mending House" develops as I attempt to blog on issues of faith and psychology, the importance of the practice of prayer, spiritual disciplines and how to find Christian Counselors in your area. So please come back to see how this goes.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I would like to interact with other Christians of the Orthodox Church, fellow trinitarians, followers of Jesus Christ, mental health professionals and anyone interested in the relevance of the Gospel in our contemporary culture.
