Brave Robins

 Welcome to the website for Brave Robins! In searching for the name for my private practice, I decided on Brave Robins because for me it symbolizes the strength and tenacity of the robins that inhabit my own backyard. As it turns out, not all American Robins fly south.  Some robins flock to Florida or Texas, but other “brave robins” overwinter in place. These hardy birds are capable of withstanding the cold temperatures.  In winter, they join flocks in search of food and adapt their diet to what is readily available. They also migrate locally  to avoid severe weather.  During this season they conserve their energy by becoming quiet, not singing nearly as much as they do when they enthusiastically announce the arrival of spring. When spring arrives, they leave the flock and settle down to raise their young. 

In short, these "brave robins" are masters of navigating the seasons, even the difficult and harsh ones. They are flexible and adaptive. They know how and when to use skills and resources, when to expend energy, and when to conserve. They also know when to ask for help.
