This practice is slow and intentional. We integrate somatic practices with nervous system and heart science, and parts work, to deepen your ability to feel safe in your body for stress and trauma recovery.
Does this sound familiar?
You are the reliable one.
The one that your family, friends, and work, depends on.
You are the strong one.
At some point, you learned to put your needs last.
You may have grown up in a family that in order to keep the peace, you had to stay helpful, quiet, agreeable, and always giving.
These patterns were shaped by your culture, family, and society, that slowly taught you this is how you belong.
Until you realized these patterns no longer work.
But you are exhausted and ready to change.
You want to understand why you keep busy, overfunctioning, and help others at your own cost.
You want to know why you feel the guilt when you set a boundary. You want to change these patterns. You want something that’s going to help you shift and something that lasts.
If this is you, than you’re in the right place.
HI, I’M ALBANIA.
My work is shaped by my own experience and training. As the daughter of immigrant parents, I understand how family, culture, and society shapes the way we live and can stay in survival patterns. These patterns get stuck in our bodies.
Like many of you, I realized that insight and effort alone was not enough to change.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I see the person from a holistic perspective inside and out.
My practice focuses on adults who are highly aware and high-functioners keeping it all together, but ready for a slow and steady change for the long haul.
I am dedicated to help BIPOC and women move beyond overwhelm, overfunctioning, and burnout by reconnecting with their bodies through nervous system healing, so they can live within their capacity, gently expand it, and confidently express their authentic selves.
Clients often tell me that they appreciate that I am honest, warm, intuitive, and respectful. They like that we include their cultural experience into the healing work.
If you are looking for therapy that is slow, honors your whole self and your culture, then we maybe a good fit.
Specializing In

Whether you are overthinking, feeling on edge, or feeling the constant tension in the body, we can work together to ease this.
-
If you are stuck in cycles of chronic stress and burnout, than healing begins in your nervous system. Learn and apply a body-first approach to recovery for lasting relief and nervous system healing.

Somatic Experiencing (SE), is a gentle, body-led, holistic model to heal stuck self protection patters in the body in order to feel more nervous system regulation, vitality and empowerment. Great for both trauma healing and stress recovery.
You will also learn about Polyvagal Theory, which provides the understanding of the role of the autonomic system and different physiological states and how it responds.
-
EMDR is an integrative approach that helps reducing overwhelming emotions into a neutral or minor feelings about a memory, as well as can increase positive self perception. I incorporate a holistic approach with SE, and IFS.
You don’t have to navigate overwhelm and exhaustion alone. Let’s make things manageable again.
Life’s demands can feel suffocating, especially when your juggling responsibilities and expectations—not to mention the chaos of the world right now. At Holistika Embodiment, I offer a blend of Somatic Experiencing sessions, Internal Family Systems-Informed, and holistic EMDR. It’s designed to help you learn how to work with your body, so you live a life where stress and trauma doesn’t dictate your every emotion and you can live in alignment with your true values and cultural needs.
