I’m Ayla & I create a warm, evidence-based therapy space where you feel truly seen and empowered to clarify and execute your boundaries and self-care.

I believe that every woman deserves to feel whole, free and confident in herself.
That’s what my practice is all about.

More about me

  • I grew up in a family where addiction and codependency was the norm.

  • I became highly attuned to my loved ones’ suffering, but ultimately burned out due to endlessly trying to “fix” people who didn’t want to be fixed or couldn’t see that there was a problem. I also chose partners who I thought needing fixing, almost compulsively. This dynamic felt like home to me.

  • I would recurrently come to a breaking point where I felt I had to choose them or me, because I was so physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted.

Over time, I learned:

  • The importance of assessing who I allow close

  • Managing my energy

  • Prioritizing self-care

  • Recognizing that I didn’t need a perfect partner; I needed one who was willing to grow with me…and if they weren’t, I still needed to heal my attachment wounds before I decided what to do next.

  • To hold boundaries not just in theory, but in practice—allowing myself to step away from unhealthy situations and let others experience the natural consequences of their actions.

  • To calmly express my needs and desires, even when they differed from those I loved.

If you’re still walking on eggshells, confused why you keep ending up in the same toxic relationships, or want to stop losing yourself in relationships or roles, and find out who you really are, reach out today.

You can transform your past—from something that once held you back, into a foundation for clarity, strength, and empowered living.

You are not defined by your history; you are capable of growth, connection, and a life in which you feel clear. You are worthy!
