My goal is simple – to help you improve your health by addressing the foundations of a healthy life. By incorporating principles of lifestyle medicine my dream is to create healthier women, children, and families.
Think of this as having a personal health coach who is a physician with over 15 years of experience as a Board Certified Gynecologist helping women handle complicated issues such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, fertility, obesity, endometriosis, and menopause. I now put all of that knowledge and experience to use and combine it with my board certification in Lifestyle Medicine to help you take control of your health! Working one-on-one we will goal-set and strategize, develop personalized nutritional plans, stress management strategies, improved sleep, and physical activity plans.
 

My practice is designed to fit the busy life of my patients! Through my online platform women have the option of meeting with me in person or opt for convenient online appointments. Online appointments allow for unconventional appointment times, no hassle of leaving work to sit in a physician waiting room, or the need for a babysitter. I strive to help you improve your quality of life, achieve your wellness goals, and heal your body to live your best life possible – in the most convenient way possible!
