From a young age, Zafire was driven by a deep desire to help others reach their full potential. Yet, her own path was filled with adversity. By age 17, childhood trauma had left her homeless and a high school dropout. Through resilience and determination, she rebuilt her life, ultimately earning two master’s degrees—in Family and Couples Therapy, and Pediatric Clinical Psychology—as well as a PhD in Clinical Psychology.
A near-death experience 13 years ago profoundly shifted her perspective. It reinforced her belief in mindfulness, connecting with the higher self, and the power of thought in shaping reality. This transformative event shaped both her life and her therapeutic approach, which emphasizes holistic healing, self-awareness, and the ability to change one’s circumstances through intentional thought and action.
Today, Dr. Zafire uses her personal and professional experiences to guide others on their journeys of healing and self-discovery. She is passionate about empowering individuals to break free from their past, find balance, and create the life they truly desire. Her work focuses on helping clients navigate challenges, reconnect with their inner strengths, and build healthier, more fulfilling lives.
