About

I spent 20 years being pushed to the side by doctors who didn’t listen or ask me the right questions. I was labeled with diagnoses of fibromyalgia, anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic pain, early onset osteoarthritis, and more.

As I silently suffered from undiagnosed Lyme disease, over the years this caused my body to attack and destroy my adrenal glands, causing a deadly condition known as Addison’s disease. My health severely declined leading me to be exhausted, weak, barely functional and down to 86 pounds. I nearly died in 2019 after three years of steady, shrugged-off medical decline. The autoimmunity also caused me to go into early menopause. In the fog of illness, my peri-menopausal symptoms which began in my early 30’s were labeled as anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, chronic pain and insomnia.

My life turned around once I received the correct diagnosis and treatment. When the hormones I lacked were returned to me, I came alive again! In 2020 I adopted an integrative medicine perspective and began treating people in menopause and andropause.

I am passionate about identifying root cause issues of inflammation and autoimmunity that contribute to symptoms that many people think they have to live with.

I love seeing the transformation in my patients’ lives as a result of optimized hormones and reducing systemic inflammation!  I want to help you thrive on an individualized wellness journey instead of just trying to survive each day with handfuls of medications.
