"Good listening is healing."

In 2023, I completed my training to become a Listener Poet with The Good Listening Project, a nonprofit devoted to humanizing healthcare through the healing power of poetry and compassionate presence. Listener Poets hold space for deep listening and poetic reflection in one-on-one sessions, either virtual or in person. After each session, the poet crafts a custom poem inspired by what was shared. So much of my own work as a poet is rooted in listening, so when I discovered this organization and the beautiful work they were doing, it felt like a natural calling.

Listener poets hold a private space for individuals, either virtually or in person, then craft a custom poem based on what was shared.  If interested in learning more or booking a session, please contact me.
