Drawn to women’s health: "I became a nurse practitioner in 1996, and for the past 30 years I’ve worked in primary care, mostly in office settings, with extensive experience in women’s health. Early in my career, I found myself naturally drawn to caring for women. In many ways, it felt intuitive—who understands a woman’s body better than another woman? That curiosity and connection led me deeper into women’s health and eventually to Midi, where the focus on education and hands-on learning makes it possible to truly support women during midlife."

Learning through lived experience: "My passion for hormones became personal when I struggled with my own hormonal issues. At the time, there simply wasn’t the depth of information we have today. I had to search, learn, and experiment to find what worked for me. As I began healing myself, something interesting happened—patients started coming to me with those same concerns. Being able to share what I had learned and help other women feel better was incredibly meaningful and continues to shape the way I practice today."

Listening first: "My approach is always patient-centered. I start by asking what symptoms a woman is experiencing, what she’s tried, and what she hopes will change. From there, we build a plan that fits her life, not anyone else’s. I want every patient to leave feeling heard, understood, and reassured that she isn’t alone."

A powerful stage of life: "Perimenopause and menopause can be such a transformative time. Women arrive at this stage with wisdom, perspective, and a deeper interest in understanding their health. Supporting them through that journey, and helping them feel confident in their bodies again, is one of the most rewarding parts of my work."
