About Us

I am a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner dedicated to providing personalized, compassionate care to women at every stage of life. With more than 15 years of clinical experience, I have deep expertise in women’s health, preventive care, and gynecologic wellness.

I graduated summa cum laude from Iowa State University with a degree in Dietetics. After earning a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Des Moines University College of Osteopathic Medicine and completing my residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Albany Medical Center, I served the North Bay community, developing a reputation for thoughtful, patient-centered care.

During those years, I saw and felt a gap in well-defined and comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause. I also felt limited by the constraints of insurance driven appointment lengths. This led me to seek out specialized menopause training and to found Vibrant Women's Health and Gynecology, a direct care practice, to offer a more personalized healthcare experience. Whether it’s annual exams, contraceptive counseling, menopause management, or gynecologic procedures, my approach combines medical excellence with genuine support for women’s unique health needs.

My focus in on helping women navigate their gynecologic concerns from their 20s and onwards as well as perimenopause and menopause with clarity, energy, and confidence. At Vibrant Women's Health and Gynecology, I blend hormone therapy with comprehensive gynecologic care, taking an integrative approach that addresses your whole health - not just your hormones in isolation.

With deep expertise in women’s health and gynecology, I recognize that symptoms like brain fog, cycle changes, weight fluctuations, and low libido are often interconnected. I offer a refined, comprehensive approach to care—thoughtfully evaluating whether your symptoms reflect hormonal imbalance, a gynecologic concern, or both—so your care is seamless, unhurried, and tailored entirely to you, without the frustration of navigating multiple providers.

In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, especially hiking and taking long walks. I love reading with my children and carving out time to read for myself as well. I’m deeply passionate about my community and feel honored to serve it through exceptional, patient-centered care.
