You no longer have to stay small to stay safe.
Trauma-informed storytelling for healing, reclamation, and transformation.
What if healing isn’t about becoming someone new — but returning to the truth of who you’ve always been?
I believe that our stories carry the keys to our wholeness; that more stories = more connection, and more connection = more healing. That when we tell the truth — even the hard, hidden, messy parts — we create the possibility for connection, freedom, and healing. Through writing, storytelling, and presence, I hold space for people who’ve been silenced or erased to reclaim their voice, their worth, and their right to take up space.

“This was so helpful and powerful. Dr. Liz is gifted, encouraging, and deeply invested in the Migrating Toward Wholeness framework. The structure was excellent — a perfect balance of teaching, writing, and self-reflection. I left feeling seen, inspired, and ready to use writing as a tool for healing.”

“I’m 50 years old and have been through years of therapy and adoptee work. This was the first time in my life I’ve been in a space where I could be seen, understood, and fully myself. I didn’t expect to be so deeply moved, and I will carry this experience forever.”

The Migrating Toward Wholeness Method
Migrating Toward Wholeness® is a trauma-informed, story-centered process that supports connection and healing for:
• Adoptees, foster youth, and families navigating identity, grief, and layered loss
• Caregivers, educators, and helping professionals seeking trauma-informed tools and connection
• Writers, creatives, and truth-tellers ready to reclaim their voice through story
• Organizational leaders and teams building healing-centered, sustainable cultures
• Anyone who’s been told they are “too much” — and is ready to take up space with wholeness and worth
This process includes five foundational practices for transformation:
Making Space to Heal
Rewriting the Truth
Expressing the Core/Primal Wound
Becoming the Subject
Breaking Silences
Each phase supports one or more of the seven trauma healing dimensions — from emotional and cognitive processing to nervous system regulation and relational repair.
This isn’t about rushing toward resolution.
It’s about reclaiming your voice, integrating your truth, and learning to stay present with all that you are.
