Self-Actualization & Spiritual Growth Therapy in California

Self-actualization is the process of becoming more fully yourself - connecting to your core values, your sense of meaning and your unique path of growth.

What Is Self-Actualization?

Self-actualization is often described as the pinnacle of human growth, the top of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Reaching this point isn’t about perfection - it’s about integration. By the time you are even considering self-actualization, you’ve already worked hard to meet your foundational needs, heal parts of your story and cultivate resilience. It’s the moment where survival gives way to expansion, where life becomes less about “getting by” and more about living in authentic alignment with your deepest truth.

Many who arrive here have traveled through hardship or trauma, learning to transform pain into wisdom. That transformation is what makes self-actualization profound: it’s not just about reaching the top of a pyramid, it’s about reclaiming your power, embodying your wholeness and realizing you are both human and divine.

You May Notice

  • A sense of being caught between old patterns and new awareness - like outgrowing a system that still surrounds you.

  • The discomfort of living in structures (relationships, jobs, routines) that no longer reflect your deeper truth.

  • A push–pull between craving expansion and clinging to familiar habits or identities.

  • Flashes of clarity and alignment that feel profound, followed by frustration when daily life hasn’t caught up yet.

  • A growing conviction that these tensions aren’t failures, but signs of real transformation taking place.

A Pathway To Alignment

Spirituality and self-actualization are not abstract concepts - they are lived experiences. In our work together, I guide you through tangible practices that help you connect with your Higher Self and the world around you. This might include exploring astrology, numerology or synchronicities as mirrors of your inner process; experiencing guided rituals, ceremonies or activations that create sacred space for growth; or cultivating simple practices of presence, nature-connection and intuitive listening.

The pathway is unique to you. Some people come seeking clarity about their purpose, others long for deeper spiritual practices and some simply want to feel more whole. Together, we’ll explore what resonates, weaving ancient wisdom with modern therapeutic insight, so you can expand into your fullest self.

My Approach

I bring both my clinical background and my lived spiritual practice to this work. That means I create a grounded, safe therapeutic container while also opening space for exploration of practices that nourish your soul. Depending on your interests and comfort level, our sessions may include:

  • Psychoeducation & reflection on self-actualization, values and alignment.

  • Exploration of symbols and systems like astrology, numerology and sacred geometry as tools for insight.

  • Ceremonial practices such as intention-setting, energy clearing or guided activations to support transformation.

  • Rituals and daily practices that strengthen intuition, deepen embodiment and help you listen to your inner wisdom.

  • This is not a one-size-fits-all approach. It’s an open, collaborative journey where I share practices, hold space and empower you to discover what feels authentic, meaningful and aligned for your unique path.

Through This Work You Can...

  • Transform pain, hardship or disconnection into wisdom and purpose.

  • Deepen your relationship with your higher self, spirit or source - in whatever way resonates with you.

  • Experience a sense of wholeness and alignment across body, mind and soul.

  • Expand your awareness beyond survival, into creativity, fulfillment and authentic expression.

  • Cultivate daily practices that root you in clarity, self-trust and spiritual connection.

You Are Not Broken

Reaching for self-actualization is not a quick fix - it’s the culmination of the work you’ve already done to survive, grow and reclaim yourself. Maslow called it the top of the hierarchy of needs, but in practice it feels more like crossing thresholds again and again: tending to safety, healing old wounds and choosing alignment until life begins to feel different from the inside out.

If you’re even considering this kind of work, it means you’ve already climbed further than most - and that is something to be proud of. Here, we don’t pretend the path is effortless. We honor the trials that shaped you while cultivating the practices, perspectives and rituals that help you step more fully into who you really are. You are not broken. You are becoming.
