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.

    Joni immediately won me over by acknowledging the knowledge I brought to the table and my personal strengths. She was 200% prepared for my visit, it was incredibly personalized, she LISTENED, she SPENT TIME with me; never rushing. She answered every question I had with confidence that was clearly rooted in research. I left feeling empowered and hopeful. I cannot rave enough about Joni and will recommend her to ALL MY FRIENDS.

    Oh dear. I felt like a specimen--like a problem she could fix rather than a person with real concerns. I have been struggling with this issue for 30 years, and I sensed almost no compassion or warmth in her. It was difficult for me to discuss something so personal, and I didn't sense much receptivity or empathy in her. I left the office feeling like I knew more about her story and her journey than she knew about mine.
