My journey to Willow Women’s Health has been shaped by a lifetime of learning, adventure, and diverse experiences. Living and working as a nurse and midwife in the United States, the Netherlands, France, England, and Germany and completing a midwifery externship in Ghana has given me a deep appreciation for the different ways healthcare is approached across cultures. In much of Europe, I witnessed a commitment to slow medicine: a patient-centered approach that prioritizes whole person care, emphasizing individualized attention, collaboration, and shared decision-making. These experiences reinforced my belief that the best care happens when provider and patient work together in partnership.

Over the years, I have practiced in a variety of settings, from private practices and federally qualified health centers to Planned Parenthood, where I specialized in women’s health and gender-affirming care. Today, I dedicate myself full-time to Willow Women’s Health, where I apply these global perspectives to menopause and midlife care. I also spend a few weekends a month catching babies in Amish country, staying connected to my midwifery roots.

At Willow Women’s Health, I integrate the best of what I have learned: compassionate, evidence-based, and personalized care that empowers every woman to navigate her health with confidence. Whether guiding a patient through perimenopause, addressing hormonal health concerns, or simply creating space for meaningful conversations, my goal is to offer the kind of care that honors each person’s unique journey.

When I am not caring for patients, I spend time with my son, practice yoga, travel, read, and teach other healthcare providers about perimenopause, menopause, and sexual health and function.
