Hi I'm Albania, and I help self-aware, burnt-out overgivers reconnect with their bodies, intuition, and inner wisdom so they can break free from people-pleasing and live soul-led, meaningful lives — with self-compassion, calm, and empowerment. My work blends somatic healing, nervous system regulation, and soul-aligned guidance—ideal for those who’ve done the inner work but still feel stuck in cycles of stress, overthinking, or burnout. This is for those ready to start feeling, rather than thinking or talking. I offer a slower, body-based approach that gently teaches how to rewire old patterns and restores a sense of safety. I teach you the tools for nervous system regulation, ways to rewire your beliefs, and live a life from your values and soul. ***Please Note: I specialize in the populations mentioned below and will kindly refer others to providers who have specific specialities, as this is the best option to meet your needs. **All intake paperwork must be completed prior to first intake session, and will be cancelled if not. I will be doing an intake consultation with you on the first session to make sure we are a good fit. Thank you!

My treatment methods

EMDR

After the assessment and treatment plan phase, both client and I discussed EMDR and have their consent . Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is an evidenced-based approach to assisting clients to desensitize and reprocess earlier events that impacted their mind and body, and are currently exhibiting symptoms. EMDR helps to transform limiting beliefs (stemmed from the earlier experience) and organize the memory (or sensory or feeling), to a more adaptable and positive way, all while decreasing or neutralizing present day symptoms. EMDR can be done virtually and can take several sessions for full completion. Full assessment is necessary to see if treatment is appropriate for the client's capacity and needs.

Somatic

I offer Somatic Experiencing (SE), a trauma-informed, body-based healing modality designed to relieve chronic stress, anxiety, and trauma symptoms. Many high-functioning individuals remain stuck in survival states like fight, flight, or freeze—long after the stress has passed. This dysregulation can lead to chronic tension, burnout, disconnection, and even illness. Somatic Experiencing helps gently release stored trauma from the nervous system, restore a felt sense of safety, and build resilience. Through body awareness, regulation tools, and slow, present-moment processing, SE supports long-term healing—so you can feel more grounded, present, and at peace in your body and life.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

I use a Internal Family Systems-Informed approach to get to know the parts of us that are stuck in survival and protecting us and may prevent us from embodying our truest and aligned self. It's a very compassionate approach to healing stress and trauma.

Mind-body approach

I use a holistic (mind and body) approach, as this is what creates sustainable healing. You learn the skills to implement a growth mindset, as well as how to regulate your nervous system, and grow it's ability to embody more of the version you want to be living in.
