Why I Chose My Field

I chose women's health to help educate and treat young girls, teens, and women as we go through the various age and hormone related changes. It is important to know how to manage and adapt to those changes in order to feel well physically, mentally and sexually. I include a multifaceted approach and my patients often hear me refer to "optimal" levels as this is where we feel better- but this can look different for everyone. 
It is important to me as a provider to listen to my patients, provide information, options and guidance. Together we create an individualized plan and make adjustments along the way.
