When I went into perimenopause myself, I saw firsthand how broken the system can be.
I went to four different providers, including two well-respected OB-GYNs, and left feeling unheard and frustrated. One doctor prescribed a medication that I later learned had safety concerns. Another pushed a one-size-fits-all plan.
That experience shaped my mission:
To give women the expert care I wish I’d had.
As a Doctor of Nursing Practice and Certified Menopause Expert with 25+ years of clinical experience, my approach is different:
Yes. If it’s safe and appropriate for you, we can prescribe estrodial (and other estrogens) as part of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) through secure telehealth visits. Other types of estrogen may be more effective for you and will be considered. Any recommended prescriptions will be sent to your local pharmacy.
Yes. Progesterone is often prescribed alongside estrogen therapy, depending on your needs. We’ll determine if it’s right for you after a thorough evaluation. Any recommended prescriptions will be sent to your local pharmacy.
Yes! If it’s clinically appropriate, we can prescribe testosterone as part of your personalized treatment plan. Any recommended prescriptions will be sent to your local pharmacy.
HRT can improve many menopause symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, sleep issues, and mood changes. It may also support bone and joint health. Hair loss can sometimes improve with treatment, but results vary by individual. We will discuss your goals and treatment options during your appointment.
Perimenopause is the transition period before menopause. It can begin in your 30s or 40s and is marked by cycle changes and symptoms like hot flashes or mood shifts. Take our Perimenopause Quiz to find out if you’re likely in perimenopause.
Menopause is diagnosed when you’ve gone 12 months without a period. A consultation and, if needed, lab testing can help clarify what will best support you.
Hormone therapy for perimenopause involves carefully balancing estrogen, progesterone, or other hormones to ease symptoms like irregular periods, mood swings, and sleep issues. It’s tailored to your unique needs and health profile.
Menopause and perimenopause are natural life stages and cannot be “reversed". However, we do offer holistic and non-hormonal options to support your health, including lifestyle guidance, nutrition counseling, and evidence-based alternatives that can reduce symptoms.
Yes. Mood changes, including irritability or anger, are common during perimenopause and menopause. We address these symptoms with hormonal and non-hormonal options, as well as lifestyle strategies, to help restore balance.
We prescribe a range of options tailored to you, including estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone when appropriate. Treatment may include pills, patches, creams, or vaginal therapies, depending on your needs.
Yes. Many women struggle with weight gain in midlife due to hormonal changes. We offer personalized weight management plans that may include medications (like GLP-1s), lifestyle guidance, and support to help you achieve sustainable results.
As estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels decline, they can affect vaginal dryness, libido, and overall sexual satisfaction. Hormone therapy helps by restoring hormonal balance, improving vaginal moisture, and reducing discomfort during sexual activity. It can also enhance sexual desire and arousal by boosting hormone levels that naturally decline during this time. This comprehensive approach supports not only your physical well-being but also your emotional and intimate health, helping you feel more confident and comfortable.
