My craft is my work
navigating conversations
Observing patterns 
of thought and behavior
Responding in ways 
that can be clearly heard
by the person sitting in front of me.

My art is my listening
the way I allow space
for a person
to freely express all that’s in them. 
the light and the dark,
the in between.

My craft is understanding trauma and its presentations. 
My art is understanding my own.
