Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Anxiety & Feet: Please see doctor first to rule out or identify medical issues such as neuropathy or circulatory issues. Anxiety can manifest in a variety of aches and pains. A clinical psychologist and/or clinical hypnosis can be helpful (www.asch.net). Peace and good health.
