Hormones
& transitions
Cycle changes, perimenopause, menopause, and symptoms that shift with a changing stage of life.
The feminine · Private clinical care
For the woman
you are.
And the woman
you’re becoming.
Hormones, mood, metabolism & vitality.
Medicine that makes room for the whole of you.
The body speaks
You know when
something feels different.
Your sleep. Your cycle. Your energy. The way you feel in a body that used to be more familiar.
Sometimes the change arrives quietly. Sometimes it asks for your attention all at once. We begin by listening to what you have noticed, then bring your symptoms, health history, and priorities into the same conversation.
A reference range is one part of the picture.
Your experience belongs in it, too.
Where we look together
Many systems.
One woman.
The concerns that bring you here may overlap. Your care should consider those connections.
Hormones
Mood, sleep
& interest in life
Restless nights, feeling on edge, low mood, or a loss of interest that deserves a thoughtful assessment.
Energy
& metabolism
Fatigue, changes in weight, and questions about thyroid and metabolic health, considered in context.
Digestion
& nourishment
Digestive symptoms, food tolerance, nutrition, and the patterns that shape how you feel each day.
Long-term health
& vitality
Prevention, everyday habits, and health priorities that evolve with age and circumstance.
The body
after loss
When grief becomes part of your health story, there is room to explore that here.
Explore grief medicineThe way I practice
First, understand.
Then, personalize.
Your story, in full.
We look at the symptoms, timeline, medical and family history, medications, daily life, and what you want to feel able to do.
A clearer clinical picture.
I review your existing records and consider examination, testing, or referral where it can help answer a specific question.
A plan that belongs to you.
I use the therapeutic order to choose among daily habits, clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, and conventional therapies, guided by the evidence, your preferences, and clinical need.
Room to reassess.
Follow-up brings your response back into the conversation, so care can change as your needs do.
Beneath the surface
Better questions.
Purposeful testing.
Laboratory results are tools for clinical decisions. We discuss what a test can tell us, what it cannot, and whether it is likely to change your care.
Depending on your history, that may include routine blood work, thyroid evaluation, metabolic markers, or targeted nutrient or digestive testing. Functional testing is considered individually, with attention to evidence, limitations, and cost.
Perimenopause often can be identified from age, symptoms, and menstrual history without hormone testing, particularly after age 45.
Medicine without walls
Thoughtful care.
In a familiar place.
Through virtual consultations, I bring our conversation into your home. I confirm your location and clinical needs before we establish care.

Your location at each visit determines eligibility. Some concerns require an in-person examination or local care.
A few things to know
Care begins
with clarity.
Do I need a diagnosis before reaching out?
No. Tell me about the symptoms or changes you want help understanding. Your inquiry helps me consider whether my practice is appropriate for your needs.
Will I need a large panel of tests?
Not necessarily. Testing is guided by your history and the clinical question. Existing results are reviewed first, and additional testing should have a clear purpose.
Is every symptom a hormone problem?
No. Sleep, mood, energy, and cycle symptoms can have several contributors. The goal is to investigate carefully rather than assume a single explanation.
Will you be my primary care doctor?
I am a licensed naturopathic primary care physician. In this practice, I focus on women’s health, functional medicine, and the physical effects of grief; I do not provide ongoing general primary care here. I ask you to maintain a primary care clinician for routine preventive care and needs outside our work together. With your permission, I coordinate with your other clinicians.
Are you accepting new patients?
I am welcoming wait-list inquiries for future availability. Share a little about yourself, and I will be in touch about next steps if there is a fit as space opens.
