From urgency to understanding: "I began my healthcare career in 2010 in the medical ICU, then spent eight years in the ER, eventually leading unit operations for a 20+ bed unit. Those years taught me to listen closely, think clearly, and act with purpose."
Finding my calling: "During my career, I have worked across primary care, urgent care, hospice, geriatrics, and hormone and weight management. Over time, I realized my true passion is helping women, especially in midlife, who feel unheard or dismissed."
You’re not crazy: "A patient from Brazil had spent five years being told her symptoms were ‘normal for her age.’ She told me women in her country aren’t expected to suffer through perimenopause or menopause. After starting treatment, she expressed gratitude for being given her life back and knowing she wasn’t ‘crazy.’ Hearing that reinforced how deeply unseen many women feel, and how powerful it is simply to listen, validate, and act."
Care that’s personal: "Hormones are like fingerprints—everyone is different. With time, patience, and partnership, we can find the right balance for you. I want every patient to leave feeling heard, validated, and confident that we’re figuring this out together."
