Who I Work With

I specialize in women in their 40s and early 50s navigating the metabolic and hormonal changes of perimenopause through a functional, lab-based approach.

I'm often asked whether I work with women who are already postmenopausal — in their 60s and beyond. The answer is yes.

While the hormonal landscape changes after menopause, many of the same underlying drivers remain: metabolic health, body composition, inflammation, gut function, and how the body is processing and responding to hormones over time.

This means the work doesn't stop at menopause. In many ways, this stage becomes even more important for supporting long-term health, preserving muscle mass, and reducing cardiometabolic risk.

Why I Built This Practice

After completing my clinical training and working in a hospital setting, I saw firsthand how much of our healthcare system is built around managing disease once it has already progressed.

There is a place for that care — but I also saw what was missing.

Very little time is spent asking why symptoms are happening in the first place, or how to intervene earlier — when women start noticing changes but are often told everything is "normal."

At the same time, I was having conversations with women in their 40s and early 50s. Smart, capable women who suddenly felt off in ways they couldn't explain and weren't getting clear answers.

That's the gap my practice is built to fill.

I'm also a wife and mom of a teen and pre-teen — living the same season of life as many of the women I work with.

Over the years, I've watched close friends change in ways they couldn't explain — sharp, confident women who started feeling like strangers in their own bodies.

One friend told me something I haven't forgotten: "I no longer speak up in meetings because I've lost the confidence that I can find the words."

I've had my own quiet moments too — enough to understand how disorienting this transition can be, and how much it matters to have someone in your corner who truly gets it.

I wanted to be the practitioner I kept wishing existed for the women in my life.

The Bigger Picture

The foundation you build during perimenopause directly shapes your long-term risk for heart disease, osteoporosis, cognitive decline, and metabolic dysfunction.

This transition isn't just about feeling better now — it's about protecting your health for decades to come.

That's the work I show up to do. And it never gets old.
