I am a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP) with a commitment to evidence-based, effective treatments

Peri-menopause

Peri-menopause is a time of significant transition and flux. Hormone levels are fluctuating like never before, often unpredictably. Many symptoms can interfere with quality of life, such as:

  • Insomnia/difficulty sleeping

  • Anxiety/mood swings/irritability/depression

  • Menstrual changes: irregular cycles, heavier bleeding/more PMS

  • Cognitive changes

  • Hot flashes/night sweats

  • Sexual dysfunction: low libido, vaginal dryness, painful intercourse

  • Fatigue

There are effective treatment strategies to get through this transition and feel like yourself again.


Menopause

Beginning one year after your last period, menopause can bring about other changes and concerns.

  • Hot flashes/night sweats

  • Vaginal dryness

  • Mood changes

  • Cardiovascular disease risk increases

  • Bone health declines

  • Metabolic changes

This is an important time to assess and address risk and improve cardiovascular, metabolic and bone health to be able to thrive beyond 50.


Comprehensive Assessment, Safe and Effective Treatments

No matter where you are in your life and hormonal journey, I work one-on-one with patients to:

  • Assess appropriateness of hormone therapy

  • Comprehensive lab testing where indicated

  • Assess cardiovascular, fracture and breast cancer risk with practical preventative strategies

  • Address diet and lifestyle strategies that will support hormonal and metabolic health

  • Design a targeted treatment plan to address your goals
