I know what it feels like to sit in a doctor’s office, explain your symptoms, and still walk out feeling unheard. For years, that was my reality. My perimenopause symptoms were brushed aside. My gut issues from hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) were never fully explored. I struggled my entire life with focus, organization, and overwhelm—classic ADHD challenges—yet I was never diagnosed.

And it wasn’t just me. In my own family, we’ve dealt with the effects of the MTHFR gene variant and histamine intolerance—things that can impact mood, inflammation, and energy, but are rarely on most providers’ radar. These experiences taught me firsthand how complex health really is, and how much is missed when providers don’t take the time to connect the dots.

When I reached the later stages of perimenopause and began to understand how all these pieces fit together, something clicked. I knew I wanted to be the kind of provider I wished I’d had all along—someone who listens, digs deeper, and helps patients make sense of their whole health picture.

Today, as a nurse practitioner licensed in Oregon and Washington, I specialize in whole-person, telehealth care for women’s health, ADHD, and metabolic wellness. I’m a strong advocate for hormone replacement therapy when it’s the right fit, and I believe in giving my patients tools they can actually use to feel steady, strong, and in control of their health—at every stage of life.
