Hi, I'm Elizabeth
Over the years, I've met with a few therapists to help me through my own struggles. I often found myself wondering: How do they know how to "solve" people's problems? So -- I decided to find out. And I became a therapist myself.
My Style of Therapy
My approach is collaborative, client- focused, and guided curiosity.
I believe my clients are the experts of their own lives -- and I trust that expertise.
I work from systemic psychotherapy approaches like Narrative, Collaborative Language Systems, and the Mental Research Institute.
My Cultural Awareness
Through my education and lived experience, I've seen how culture, color, gender, religion, body size, and social position shape our struggles and healing.
I continue reflecting on how my own background and privilege affect the way I move through the world and connect with others -- in therapy and beyond.
I Am Many Things
I am an American of Arab descent -- shaped by the Lebanese and Palestinian diasporas that followed European colonization and Israeli occupation. Naming my lineage is a way of honoring both my roots and the complexity of the land I live on.
I am a cisgender woman living on Shawanwaki and Muskogee territory, currently known as the State of Alabama. Growing up in a family with one cultural worldview and navigating life in another created confusion -- and also a deep appreciation for nuance, belonging, and the in-between spaces.
These lived experiences shape how I hold space in therapy. I offer a place where clients can safely explore identity, intersectionality, and the challenges that come with navigating multiple worlds -- because I know how meaningful that kind of space can be.
I'm now a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist supporting clients across Alabama through Your Story Therapy.
Why "Your Story" Therapy?
Stories are powerful.
Humans have always known this. Over 100,000 years ago, early humans drew scenes on cave walls. 5,000 years ago, Egyptians carved histories in hieroglyphs. Today, we share our lives online -- in posts, pictures, and paragraphs.
Throughout time, stories have been how we teach, remember, warn, entertain and pass down love, values, and tradition.
What stories do you carry?
The stories we tell ourselves -- and others -- shape how we understand the world. They can remind us of who we are, protect us from past harm, or help us make sense of what's next. Stories can carry wisdom, identity, survival, or pain. And sometimes, we find ourselves stuck in one that no longer serves us.
I would be honored to walk through your story with you -- and help you co-author the next chapter, one that feels more like your own.
