Where I’m meant to be: “As a women’s health nurse practitioner, I’ve spent over five years focused caring for women across the lifespan—with a special emphasis on perimenopause and menopause. This stage can feel overwhelming, but I love being able to guide women through it with knowledge, compassion, and practical support. Helping women feel like themselves again is the most rewarding part of what I do."

Lessons from my mom’s menopause: “I’ll never forget watching my mom go through menopause: Ten years of hot flashes, mood swings, and disrupted sleep, and not a single helpful solution from her provider. She was told to just deal with it. That’s part of why I do this work. Women deserve better care, better answers, and someone who actually listens.”

Your voice shapes your care: “When I meet with a patient, I want to understand her goals and concerns so we can create a treatment plan together. It’s a collaborative process, rooted in evidence-based care and supported by Midi’s innovative protocols. We’ve come a long way in what we know and can offer, and I want women to benefit from all of it.”
