You are more than a list of symptoms. I help women ages 18-60 navigate the complex 'why' behind anxiety, depression, insomnia, and trauma. As a certified Family and Psych NP who is a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, I specialize in the critical overlap between mental health and hormonal influences in PMDD, PCOS, and perimenopause. I prescribe Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT), bio-identical hormones (BHRT), and evidence-based treatments to help you feel like yourself again. It’s time for a different approach. I’m here to help you uncover the root cause, heal, and reconnect with your most vibrant self.
Many of my patients feel anxious, exhausted, or "off". I practice integrative psychiatry, going deeper than traditional care. I integrate supplements, medication management, laboratory testing, therapy, and lifestyle medicine to help you achieve sustained wellness.
Life's challenges, with or without hormonal shifts, can affect everything. I offer a safe, supportive space to explore these changes and heal. If you’re ready to reclaim your best self, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.
