My Story

As someone with my own autoimmune condition, I understand what it feels like to feel unheard and dismissed as a patient. This has fueled a deep commitment to truly listening, validating concerns, and empowering women to take control of their health.

​

I am a board-certified Adult Gerontology Nurse Practitioner with additional training in functional medicine and women’s health. I have a varied nursing experience with a background in urgent care, cardiology,  mental health, med-surg, and primary care.

​

I hold  a Bachelor's and Master's degrees from the University of Providence and I have been helping patients define and realize their best health for more than fifteen years.

​

Health in Her Hands was founded after witnessing firsthand how traditional medical practices shortchange patients by focusing on simple protocols and revenue-driven algorithms, rather than taking the time to assess the whole person and dive deeply into the root causes of dysfunction.

​

After nearly two decades in traditional healthcare, I realized how underserved midlife women are when it comes to personalized, root-cause care. Most are handed a prescription — or told their symptoms are "just part of aging" — and sent on their way. 

​

So I decided to do things differently.

I created a space where women feel seen, heard, and deeply supported. A place where hormones, metabolism, mood, and energy are all part of the conversation — because they’re all connected. My approach combines advanced lab testing, bioidentical hormone therapy, and lifestyle medicine to create a plan that’s completely tailored to you.

Additional menopause training includes work with Dr. Felice Gersh, Women's Hormone Network,  Dr. Heather Hirsch, and Kristin Johnson & Maria Claps of Wise & Well.
