TRAUMA-INFORMED WRITING COACH
Holding space for the stories that shaped you
Writing a memoir—especially one rooted in personal trauma or deep life transitions—isn't just about words on a page. It's an emotional journey that stirs up memories, unearths pain, and often reopens old wounds. As a trauma-informed writing coach, I don’t edit your chapters or critique your sentence structure—instead, I walk with you through the remembering.
With a background in psychotherapy and narrative-focused trauma work, I offer a safe, grounded space for you to process the emotions that arise as you write. Together, we explore the mental, emotional, and even physical responses that come with revisiting your story. Whether it’s anxiety, grief, self-doubt, or unexpected clarity, I help you make meaning from the memories and stay resourced along the way.
This work supports you in writing from a place of wholeness, not just survival—so your story can be told with truth, courage, and self-compassion.
If you’re writing a memoir and finding yourself emotionally stuck, overwhelmed, or simply needing a steady companion in the process, I’m here to help.
Memoir isn’t just about what happened—it’s about what it meant, and how it still lives in your body and mind.
Together, we’ll explore:
How to recognize and regulate emotional triggers that arise while writing
The difference between writing from a wound vs. writing from a scar
The role of memory, fragmentation, and self-doubt in storytelling
Naming core themes and patterns to deepen narrative insight
Working through internalized shame, fear, or guilt tied to your story
How to set boundaries around what to share and what to keep private
Practices for grounding, reflection, and self-care during the writing process
Permission to evolve your perspective as healing and insight deepen
Understanding your story’s emotional arc, not just its timeline
Reclaiming your voice after trauma or silencing experiences
