APPROACH
My approach to coaching is rather eclectic. Because each client has different needs and goals, my approach must also be different. I believe we all have the power and strength within us
to be successful but we need the guidance, support, and encouragement to make it happen. Therapy needs to be a collaboration between us. We are a team that works together
to uncover the underlying cause of symptoms and maladaptive thoughts and behavior
and improve Emotional Intelligence (EQ).
Our goal is life long change not just symptom management.
I use traditional psychotherapy (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing) along with more advanced treatment approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Hypnotherapy, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Spiritual Psychology. We cannot heal the mind without also healing the body and spirit.
SPECIALTIES
I work with teens, adults and LGBTQ. I conduct individual, couples and family therapy.
I specialize in helping clients through depression, anxiety, abuse, trauma and
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), divorce, blended families, parenting and stepparenting, marital and family problems, grief (including the death of a pet),
stress, self-esteem and self-love, emotional regulation, boundaries and life transitions.
ABOUT ME
I am a Forensic and Clinical Psychologist. However, my own Spiritual Journey led me
to doing clinical work only and opening my private practice in Cave Creek, AZ.
I am a proud stepmom of two sons and a mom of two dogs, one mini donkey and three chickens, which will be here to greet you when you come (the animals not my stepsons).
I am a writer for Executive Functioning Magazine and
previously wrote for Stepmom Magazine.
I am passionate about creating self-help guided exercises, courses and guided meditations,
which can be found on Free Spirit's YouTube Channel and on
the free mediation app, Insight Timer.
Pasquale and I also co-host a Spiritual Psychology Support Group on YouTube
to help people through their own Spiritual Journey.
I believe integrity, kindness, and compassion are the keystones of a great life.
I have been blessed with clairvoyance (clear-sight), claircognizance (clear-knowledge), and clairsentience (empathy or clear-feeling) as well as a passion for helping others
rise to meet their most authentic and joyful lives. I am trained in the use of Crystal Reiki Healing and Auric Color Energy and I draw on this knowledge in every session to gently guide you through any challenges. With these gifts, I facilitate a healing space where I tune in to your energy and the guidance from your angels while uncovering messages to aid you in overcoming any blocks you might be experiencing. I use an integrative approach that includes reading your natal chart and using color therapy to help bring balance and solutions into your life. The real power is hidden within you and we will uncover it together!
Finally, we will create an action plan with tangible steps to take to help you
heal, balance, and expand. Click here to learn what to expect from a session.
As a Spiritual Life Coach and Energy Healer, I understand what it takes to
overcome life's obstacles and guide you toward a more meaningful existence.
Growing up in Chicago as the son of Catholic Italian immigrants,
I faced numerous challenges. From navigating cultural identity and language barriers to understanding my empathic and intuitive abilities, my journey has been one of profound self-discovery. Dealing with a family history of depression and anxiety, along with
exploring my identity as a gay man, added further complexity to my path.
Amidst these challenges, my spiritual awakening as an Empath and Intuitive
illuminated my way. This transformative experience not only deepened my understanding of myself but also fueled my passion for guiding others on their journeys.
My past is not just a story of overcoming obstacles; it's a testament to the power of embracing who we are and finding strength in our unique journeys.
These experiences led me to question many of the ideals and beliefs I was raised with, helping me understand the true meaning of life. To navigate these difficulties, I sought guidance from several renowned spiritual mentors who taught me how to follow my spiritual practice, maintain high vibrations, and appreciate the importance of intuition and healing.
Despite the difficulties, I achieved a deep understanding of my differences. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree and embarked on a successful corporate career, using my knowledge and intuition to guide teams and operate successful businesses.
Eventually, I retired from my corporate executive role to live a more authentic spiritual life. Now, I empower other empaths and intuitives to achieve a balanced life of mind, body, and spirit. My expertise lies in helping people unlock their potential, move beyond their shadows, and initiate a spiritual life, attaining self-love and harmony.

I also collaborate with your child’s teachers and other providers as needed.

Sound Healer & Registered Yoga Teacher

Since 2010 I've been a yoga and meditation teacher.
I consider it a sacred honor to share these healing modalities with others
as we all walk on this path through life together. I have an advanced certification
in Yoga Nidra, which is a sleep-based meditation designed to use the biological process of sleep as a vehicle to enter into deeply subtle and profoundly healing states of being.
All you have to do is lie down, get comfortable, and be led through a series of breath and body awareness techniques - it's an effortless and elegant meditation practice.
In addition to teaching Yoga Nidra, I also use gentle yoga as well as sound healing in the form of crystal bowls, a gong, koshi bells and an ocean drum to enhance your experience. There is nothing more powerful than tuning into the wisdom of the body
to heal the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual scars that we gain as we move through life. I'm deeply honored and consider it a gift to share
these practices with others, as they have led me towards so much liberation
and I wish that for you as well!
