After 27 years in traditional medicine, I found myself longing to have more time with my patients. More time to listen to their story, dive deep into their symptoms, their overall health, their emotional needs, nutritional needs and physical needs. Each of these needs plays an important part in maintaining balance during the perimenopausal/menopausal transition. I enjoy working with women to identify the root cause of their symptoms and develop an individualized plan for treatment and lifestyle adjustment. Few Primary Care or OB/GYN providers receive substantial training in the perimenopause and menopausal transition. Even when trained, they rarely have the time to focus on the individual woman and her needs when she presents with the many symptoms of peri and menopause. By focusing on up-to-date research in this area, I can provide complementary care to women during what can be a very difficult time in life.  I work alongside their primary care provider and other specialists to provide focused care for specific women’s health concerns.
