My Story
My Story
Losing my mom as a young adult changed everything. She passed suddenly after complications from a skin condition and the medication used to treat it. Despite all the right tests and treatments, no one was able to help her in the way she truly needed. I’ve always felt that something deeper was being missed.
That experience shaped how I view medicine and how I practice today. It pushed me to look beyond symptoms—to ask why things are happening, not just what they are. I don’t believe in a “band-aid” approach to care. Instead, I focus on finding and addressing the root cause—even down to the cellular level—so that healing can happen from the inside out.
Years later, my own journey through perimenopause and menopause became another turning point. Experiencing firsthand the lack of support, education, and understanding that so many women face, I knew I wanted to be part of the solution.
Today, my passion is helping women in their 30s through 60s uncover the underlying causes of their symptoms—so they can restore balance, optimize their health, and feel like themselves again.

About Me
About Me
I am a Family Nurse Practitioner with over 22 years of experience in women’s health and advanced certifications in Functional Medicine, Urology, and Menopause Care.
My path began with degrees in Biochemistry and Chemistry from Virginia Tech, followed by nursing degrees from Johns Hopkins University and Georgetown University. I later returned to Johns Hopkins to earn my Doctorate in Nursing Practice, focusing on urinary health and pelvic floor dysfunction.
Over the years, I’ve developed deep expertise in pelvic pain, incontinence, sexual medicine, gut health and hormone optimization—with a passion for helping women in perimenopause and menopause feel their best.
To better support my patients, I’ve completed advanced training through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, Elite NP, and A4M in hormone health, weight management, and women’s wellness. I’m also certified in intermittent fasting for women and have led educational programs to empower women with practical, science-based tools for lasting health. Continuous learning is one of my core values — I’m always seeking new, evidence-based ways to empower my patients and help them feel their best.
I’ve had the privilege of serving on multiple medical mission trips to Brazil, Belize, Guatemala, and Peru, as well as hurricane relief efforts in the U.S.—experiences that profoundly shaped my perspective on health, resilience, and care.
