HEALING THE NERVOUS SYSTEM THROUGH SOMATIC EXPERIENCING & EMDR
You have already tried different ways to feel better—therapy, self-help, lifestyle changes. So why does it feel like nothing is changing?
You feel overwhelmed and exhausted more often than not
You overthink decisions and struggle to trust yourself
You keep trying to feel better, but nothing seems to last
You feel stuck in cycles of burnout and emotional overload
You put other first and struggle to prioritize your own needs
You feel the pressure from society, your career, or family expectations.
You want to feel more grounded and calm, but can’t seem to get there.
HI, I’M ALBANIA.
Let’s build a sustainable life that feels good for your body.
I believe that it’s not a lack of insight or effort that you might find yourself in. Many women I work with, begin this journey already understanding their patterns and have done the work. But their nervous systems still carrying the load of survival and trauma patterns.
I was once there too. Once I focused on the nervous system, everything changed. As a Latina Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and EMDR, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over a decade experience, I am here to teach you the tools to relate to your body and different parts of you with compassion, so you feel the safety inside, live within your capacity, while gently expanding it. Let’s do this together.
True healing is through embodiment
In a society that glamorizes pushing through, fixing, productivity, and distractibility, we can become easily disconnected from ourselves.
It’s not your fault — these systems are built this way.
However, I believe that healing happens when we get curious about our bodies, support nervous system regulation, and experience slow processing of experiences we haven’t felt safe to feel, and to be held and witnessed by another individual.
True embodiment happens when we include and relate to our cultural experiences, values, and the parts of us we have ignored or suppressed. Doing so, we feel the relief we’ve been searching for, and create a life based on our capacity. We accept and feel where we are in the present moment.
If this resonates, l’ll be honored to work with you.
