Embodied Coherence.
Sometimes thinking keeps us from feeling.
What Is Body Psychotherapy?
Most of us relate to our inner lives through language — thinking, analyzing, narrating our way toward understanding. Body psychotherapy starts somewhere else: the body isn't a container for the mind, it's a primary site of experience, memory, and meaning.
The tightness before you speak, the collapse after conflict — these aren't just habits. They're organized responses to experience, often laid down before words were available. This work doesn't try to override those patterns. It listens to what they have been protecting, and what becomes possible when they feel genuinely met.
When the nervous system experiences something different than what it learned to expect, old patterns have room to shift. This is what a corrective experience makes possible.
Sensation & Awareness
Tracking sensation, breath, and impulse as entry points into deeper understanding.
Structure & Alignment
Drawing from Structural Integration, attending to posture and tissue organization as expressions of psychological experience.
Relational Field
The quality of the therapeutic relationship isn't a backdrop to the work — it's a primary mechanism of change. What gets held in the body can only move in a relationship that feels safe enough to meet it.
Parts & Wholeness
A parts-based lens honors the complexity of the whole self — and the protective strategies, often formed early and in relationship, that made sense then and still shape us now.
Bruce Kenyon
The heart of my work is inspired by three beliefs:
- that you are inherently whole
- that you are the expert of your own experience
- that your body holds the wisdom necessary to exist in its natural state — adaptive, balanced, and resilient
I hold a Master of Arts in Somatic Counseling Psychology from Naropa University and have spent over fifteen years working as a Structural Integration therapist in Colorado and California. That work has taught me what the body inherently knows — and what opens up when structure, sensation, and emotion are met together.
A longstanding curiosity about consciousness, nature, and the transpersonal dimensions of human experience drew me toward Naropa and the lineage of somatic and contemplative psychology it carries. That orientation shapes how I view therapy — less about fixing what's broken, more about being present for what is real, and what is calling.
I navigate my own life largely through sensation — noticing what feels true in the body, and what doesn't. It is the same compass I bring to the work.
I am currently an LPCC in Colorado, working with individuals, couples, and families — in person in Broomfield and Boulder, walk and talk sessions in Lafayette / Boulder, and available via telehealth.
