What I Do

I am a certified menopause provider and sexual medicine specialist with years of experience in women’s health. My goal to be an evidenced-based resource for women who want to make informed decisions about their midlife health.

Why I Love My Work

More than a million women in the U.S. enter menopause every year yet healthcare has not caught up to meet their needs. I know this from my own experience and am grateful for the opportunity to fill this gap in our community. I recognize that menopause and women’s sexuality are personal, so I strive to create time and a comfortable space for these discussions. Medical interventions and education are key components of my patient care.
