Welcome to The Center for Soulful Living
At the Center for Soulful Living, we offer marriage and family support rooted in spiritual wisdom and awakening heart awareness. Our unique approach guides individuals and families to re-see and re-relate to personal challenges through the lens of soul and spirit. Within this deeper awareness, life begins to transform—bringing renewed joy, intimacy, and connection.
Our counseling is not just about problem-solving; it’s about soul-discovery. We support individuals in accessing the inner depths of their being—what we call the soul—and help them understand how their ways of relating, living, and working evolve when these inner dimensions are nurtured.
Through spiritual practices, silence, and stillness, we invite clients to awaken the longings of the heart—the quiet call of the spiritual self. We explore and cultivate heart awareness and heart intelligence, offering pathways toward authentic living, meaningful relationships, and profound personal growth.
Couples Therapy:
Most couples enter therapy to feel more love and understanding. Conflict is to be expected in an intimate relationship. It is just that most couples don’t have a good model for repair, leading to ruptures that go unresolved.
In therapy, we learn how to speak from a place of self-understanding and listen from a place of true desire to understand the other.

Soma Psychotherapy:
This work views trauma as a pathway to healing when met with awareness and compassion. Through SomaPsychotherapy, clients gently befriend the body, allowing the nervous system to settle and resilience to emerge. As all parts of the self are welcomed, reactive patterns soften and a more integrated way of living unfolds.
Classes/ Retreats:
Awakening Heart Intelligence combines a four-session class series and an annual retreat centered on heart awareness. Through contemplative practices, participants cultivate embodied feeling-knowing alongside the mind. This work supports a more present, heart-centered way of living.
