Do you find yourself emotionally overwhelmed, and overthinking, no matter what you do? Maybe you’ve done self-work, but are still feeling hypervigilant, chronically tense, unable to trust yourself or others, wondering if there’s something wrong with you . Thinking there’s no way out of the fear and pain. But you’re ready to make a change. You want to understand what’s happening in your nervous system and have the change be felt in it too. You’re ready to feel confident to move through challenges quicker. Most of all, you’re ready to heal with your body and feel like yourself again. I want to help you get there. Hi, I am Albania. I specialize in healing the nervous system through holistic therapy and Somatic Experiencing, to help busy women who are struggling with stress or trauma, to experience relief in their bodies and live an authentic life. I’ll meet you where you are on your unique journey. You’re the expert in your life, and I’m here to guide you, to get curious about yourself and what’s still being held in your body to be gently released. A life where you feel more at ease and confident is possible. You don’t have to continue being stuck in painful cycles, and you don’t have to do it alone. Schedule an appointment with me today I can’t wait to hear from you. This is for you if... -You are ready to do the body-led practices, and less talking. -No active addictions or severe mental health diagnosis, that is best served in-person with a specialized provider. -I have an affinity to working with those over 30 years and older, and BIPOC, women, but all are welcomed.
I will be doing an intake consultation with you on the first session to make sure we are a good fit. I provide referrals if I feel like your needs are better fit with another provider.
My greatest strengths: Deeply listening and present, Calm, soft, and use of appropriate-humor. Lovingly interrupt and challenge clients, Share tools so the client ignites their inner-healer. Experience in different modalities and interweaving culture.
Somatic
I offer Somatic Experiencing (SE), a trauma-informed, slow 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.
EMDR
I provide a mind and body approach to Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. We work with certain EMDR tools to help your body be balanced, so that you can prepare for processing a specific event. I will assess readiness for this type of treatment.

From the initial intake session, Albania struck me as warm, intelligent, direct, holistic, with a solution-oriented and embodied/somatic approach. I'm looking forward to beginning work together.
