Ayla Fleming

I work with parents, partners, or adult children who have a loved one struggling with addiction or other significant family/relationship dysfunction and want to determine whether to remain connected to them or end the relationship. Loving someone who is struggling with unhealthy behaviors can leave us with extremely mixed and overwhelming emotions. I help people learn to set boundaries, overcome trauma, and heal - regardless of whether their loved one is ready to heal or not. I help people regain confidence and feel deserving of their own needs and limits after years of putting themselves last. I help them learn to feel comfortable pulling back from over-functioning which often keeps us in inauthentic interactions with our loved ones. This can be difficult but not impossible. Many of my clients felt other therapies still left them stuck in guilt and uncertainty.
