Rooted in women’s health from the start: "I began my healthcare career in 2015, and jumped right into labor and delivery at a small community hospital. After six years there, I moved into OB/GYN care, working in a local practice serving an under-privileged community. I later joined a larger health system’s midlife center, where I gained extensive experience supporting women through perimenopause and menopause before joining Midi."

A personal spark: "My passion for midlife care really began with my aunt. After her hysterectomy, she started experiencing a variety of symptoms related to significant hormone fluctuations and went from specialist to specialist without answers. Trying to help her opened my eyes to how little support many women receive in this stage of life. That experience showed me how desperately women need clear information, validation, and providers who truly listen."

Listening as the foundation of care: "When someone comes to me overwhelmed or unsure where to begin, I make sure they have space to open up and genuinely feel heard. I listen not just to symptoms, but to how those symptoms are affecting their relationships, their moods, and their sense of self. Every woman deserves to know that what she’s feeling is real, valid, and far more common than she realizes."

Care that fits real life: "I walk through each symptom one by one—whether it’s mood changes, sleep issues, weight gain, libido shifts, or hot flashes—and create a plan that fits her goals and her lifestyle. Together, we look at the full picture and build a path forward using lifestyle approaches, hormone therapy when appropriate, non-hormonal options, and supplements."
