Connecting the dots: "I’ve been in healthcare since 2006, and over the years I’ve learned that the most important part of care often starts with slowing down and truly listening. In 2016, I began my work in family medicine and internal medicine, caring for many complex patients. I later worked in urgent care during the COVID-19 pandemic, then spent time providing care through a telemedicine-based mental health clinic. For the past three and a half years, I had the privilege of working in primary care with veterans as a contractor for the VA. Each of these roles reinforced the value of whole-person care and meaningful connection."

Seeing the gap: "I was drawn to Midi because I recognized a real gap in care for women beyond their childbearing years. Hormonal changes can have a profound impact on daily life, yet so many women feel dismissed or told to manage symptoms one at a time. I believe women deserve thoughtful, connected care across their entire lifespan."

Listening for what’s unspoken: "One patient in her mid-40s came to me repeatedly with migraines, body aches, night sweats, low libido, and recurrent UTIs. When I slowed down and asked how all of this was affecting her life, she shared through tears that she felt like her body was falling apart and no one was connecting the dots. That moment reshaped how I care for women today."

Care as partnership: "My philosophy is simple: listen attentively, include patients in their plan of care, and take a holistic approach when appropriate. I want my patients to leave feeling heard, supported, and clear about a plan they helped create—knowing what to expect and feeling confident moving forward."
