The Little Desert is not only the place where the person encounters his poverty, but the place when impossibility meets possibility. It is a paradox within the life lived with Christ Jesus where hunger and satiation exist simultaneously between the slavery of Egypt and the ordered freedom of the Promised Land. We may experience the milk and honey of God's Promise when we embrace our weakness with Him. This is the place we inevitably find ourselves on the journey of healing and restoration from the wounds we inherit. 

I began my experience as a fledgling in therapy through an internship with Turning Point in Fort Collins, working as an outpatient therapist and a crisis therapist at their residential facility for teenagers. Currently, I work at Harvest Farm as a therapist for recovery from addiction and trauma.

During my graduate years, I often wondered at what a therapist was exactly. It did not feel right to say a therapist was one who gave good advice because what advice could I give to a world that bleeds? If it was not advice, it must be a companionship I thought. If man was made in and for relationship, companionship must be the answer to my wondering. The word is beautiful in its etymology, which roughly translates to "bread fellow" in the late latin. My role in your life is one who shares bread along your journey and this is a role I take seriously. My aim is to sit down with you and come to understand what it means to suffer well from your perspective.
