common concerns treated

simple . . . running makes me happy!

I'm assuming it might do the same for you and perhaps that's how you found me here? Running has been a consistent and always reliable source of calming, grounding, energizing, and insight-provoking pleasure for me.  I tend to use running in lieu of a car or transit in order to get around town whether it's to my clinic, grabbing groceries, getting to meetings or if I'm literally just "running" errands.  I run to socialize.  I run to feel good and stay fit.  It's simple and accessible, almost anybody can do it, it's an environmentally-friendly way of transit and has so many other benefits, why wouldn't I run?!  One of my side-passions is helping my patients find something that makes them feel the same way that I do about running!
