ONLINE THERAPY FOR ADULTS IN CALIFORNIA
Helping you find relief & get back to feeling like yourself again.
STRESS, ANXIETY, GRIEF, & TRAUMA THERAPY
Specializing in:
SOMATIC EXPERIENCING, EMDR, and IFS-INFORMED
You’ve done the work, but something still feels off.
Have you been trying to keep it together on the outside, but struggling on the inside—anxious, sad, overwhelmed?
You’ve done the work. But you’re back in the problems you thought you’d already healed.
You tell yourself:
how you should act, how things should be different, and who you ought to be, yet you feel the pain.
Life has gotten harder to cope with. Maybe you lost a loved one or a big change has happened. Perhaps the I-got-to-keep-going isn’t working anymore.
You are feeling like you can’t hold it any longer. You feel more disconnected from yourself and those close to you. You are exhausted trying to figure this out alone.
You know something has to change. You are ready to try something different. You are ready for the healing to last.
Hi There! I’m Albania
I’m here to meet you with realness and focus on what actually works—so you don’t have to be in therapy forever.
I believe you already have the capacity to heal. My job is to meet you where are, picking up where you left off in the self-work you’ve already done. Together, we’ll understand how stress, burnout, anxiety, trauma, or grief, show up for your unique journey. We’ll explore cultural, societal, and family dynamics that shaped who you are—and may also be holding you back. With 15 years as a therapist, I’ve found that healing that lasts starts in the body, not just the mind.
I’ll share perspectives and practices that have helped me so much and love to share with others, along with simple tools and proven methods like Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems-Informed. Through a mind-body approach, we’ll work toward releasing what’s holding you back and feel deep peace, joy, and connection with yourself and others again.
I am here to support you with…
Feeling more at peace and grounded
Setting healthier boundaries
Creating a life that energizes you
Improving your communication
Increasing self-trust & confidence
Feeling more like yourself
Specializing In—

You are the one people lean on in your personal and professional life. You like to be there for others, but it’s starting to feel like pressure and obligation. In our work together, we support your body to experience more relief and how to still be of service without losing yourself.

Loss and grief can be a lot to hold on your own. Whether you are going through a big life transition, have lost a loved one, going through a separation, break-up, or divorce, we support your body and mind to process it and have clarity on how to navigate life that feels true to you.

Painful experiences can get us stuck, but we don’t have to rehash the past to move forward. To help process these events, we approach it in a slow pace that feels safe enough for your mind and body.

Whether your mind is overthinking about the future or replaying an event in the past, it can feel exhausting. We use proven tools and practices to help calm your nervous system and gain clarity in your mind.
Online Therapy Benefits
When we go deep, it’s important for you to be in a comfortable space. This is why being at home and doing therapy online is perfect. You don’t need to waste time driving to an office.
Virtual therapy is just as effective as in person. You’ll find a quiet and confidential space to do the sessions. The only thing we need is a good internet connection and showing up, with your furry BFF or your favorite snack.
