I’m Ayla & I created this practice to help parents with an addicted adult child heal themselves and their child after years of dead-ends and the terror of escalating addiction.

Here, you finally find warm, evidence-based therapy that actually works.

You & your partner will feel truly seen and empowered to hold healthy boundaries that actually work.

I believe that every couple with an addicted adult child deserves to finally feel whole, free, and finally have some hope that their adult child can recover.
That’s what my practice is all about.

Why me?

  • I offer both in-depth professional and personal experience.

  • I know how excruciating and confusing it is to start to change longstanding family addiction dynamics.

  • I know how hard it is to let others feel the “natural consequences” of their actions without stepping in before the learning (and maybe, motivation to change) occurs.

  • I know what it's like to ultimately burn out after endlessly trying to “fix” things that weren't mine to address.

  • We repeatedly come to breaking points where we feel we have to choose “them or me”, causing more guilt.

It can take us decades to unlearn these habits, but therapy can help us to:

  • Not just set boundaries, but follow through on holding them (the latter is the most important part!)

  • Trust our intuition

  • Manage our energy

  • Prioritize self-care

  • Cultivate and seek out grounded relationships, that can support healthy thinking, especially during difficult times with our addicted loved one.

The stress is an invitation to transform our generational legacy.
