More about Hala, The Emotional Burnout Expert

I became the therapist I needed when growing up.
As a Middle Eastern, multicultural woman, I understand what it’s like to carry invisible pressure — to be “good,” to make others happy, to never take up too much space. It’s mentally and emotionally exhausting. If you're tired of living that way, I’m here for you.

I specialize in supporting adult children of narcissistic and emotionally unavailable parents, especially those navigating multicultural family and relational dynamics. Many of my clients are high-achievers finding themselves trapped in toxic work or relationship cycles—often unaware these patterns mirror their family of origin.

Together, we unpack the beliefs, trauma, and inherited patterns that taught you to silence yourself.
I bring warmth, honesty, and deep validation to our space. I’ll hold space for your story while gently challenging the behaviors and thoughts keeping you stuck. You don’t have to carry everything alone anymore.

Whether you're experiencing:

• Self-doubt
• Identity struggles
• Burnout
• People-pleasing
• Poor boundaries
• Relationship challenges  

This is your space to explore, heal, and transform.

I listen deeply and identify the repeating patterns in your relationships—with family, friends, and yourself. If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, I see you.

We’ll explore your relational world using tools like the genogram and my signature friend-o-gram, shedding light on how your friendships compare to familial dynamics. Think of therapy as updating an internal filing system—holding onto what serves you, releasing what doesn’t.

As a bilingual therapist (English & Arabic) who’s culturally attuned, I’ll walk with you every step of your healing journey.

I work virtually with clients across California and Florida, specializing in helping adult children of narcissistic and emotionally unavailable parents, and victims of relational trauma—especially those from multicultural families. Many of my clients are high-achieving professionals who find themselves stuck in toxic work or relationship dynamics, often without realizing these patterns mirror the relational trauma they have experienced from their family of origin.

In our work together, we focus on building the tools to set healthy boundaries, strengthen self-confidence, and create a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.

As The Emotional Burnout Therapist, I help you reclaim your peace and power—without losing the drive and ambition that make you who you are.

Untangle the knotted threads of your past and create space for healing, understanding, and peace.
