Creating space for self-love.
Where healing meets community—through holistic therapy, connection, and sacred spaces designed to support your healing journey.

FOUNDER of Amar THERAPY, Inc.
amar
Amar means “to love” in Spanish. At Amar Therapy, we help individuals return to themselves through holistic therapy and sacred community. Rooted in self-love and body-centered healing, our approach weaves together evidence-based modalities like CBT and EMDR with mind–body practices. Together, these pathways support you in breaking cycles, healing deep wounds, and stepping into a life of purpose and authenticity.
You don’t have to carry this alone!
As a Latina Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Amar Therapy, Inc., I create space for individuals to heal and grow into their best selves. I help individuals lead their lives from a foundation of self-love, allowing them to let go of all heavy emotions, set attainable goals and believe in themselves again.
I believe self-love transforms lives. It takes a lot of courage to recognize and heal past wounds, especially breaking and family and cultural patterns that no longer work for you. By practicing self-love, and powerful holistic methods of healing, you can begin your “new story” and blossom into the person you are meant to be.
Con amar,

EMDR Therapy
Don’t let your past define you.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a powerful, proven method that will help you overcome obstacles, allowing you to heal past wounds and nurture a sense of inner-peace and resilience that guides you toward a more hopeful future. EMDR therapy aims to desensitize your emotions, thoughts, and any symptom related to the past and regain authority over your emotional well-being.
At Amar Therapy, we personalize the EMDR treatment to meet your specific needs. By addressing the core of past trauma, we will work together to dismantle the barriers that may be holding you back.

We’re here for you.
Individualized Therapy with a holistic approach
You are actively engaging your healing journey and we celebrate you for your courage in seeking support! By allowing a professional to assist you, you are actively breaking generational cycles and taking steps towards positive change. Life is not meant to be done alone, and taking the moment to be vulnerable with yourself can bring many overwhelming emotions. We are here to help you process and work through those feelings. We integrate mind and body connection approaches in our sessions. We will discuss how emotions can be stored in the body and how the mind can dwell in the past. We use techniques such as EMDR, TF-CBT, and mindfulness to address symptoms and promote healing. We will work together to set specific goals for your therapy plan and figure out what you want to accomplish during our sessions. It is such a privilege and honor to experience your story as we support you along the way.
We cannot shame ourselves into change, we can only love ourselves into evolution.
