Hel­lo and wel­come! I am pas­sion­ate about car­ing for girls and women through­out the var­i­ous phas­es of life from puber­ty, ado­les­cence, menar­che, child­bear­ing years (both pre­vent­ing preg­nan­cy when not desired and help­ing women to con­ceive and achieve healthy preg­nan­cies and deliv­er healthy chil­dren when desired), menopause tran­si­tion, and beyond. I enjoy get­ting to know my patients per­son­al­ly, as they feel com­fort­able. I strive to cre­ate as com­fort­able and wel­com­ing an envi­ron­ment as pos­si­ble, under­stand­ing the sen­si­tive, pri­vate, and — let’s face it — awk­ward nature of this field at times. My goal is to edu­cate patients and share rec­om­men­da­tions and infor­ma­tion with my ulti­mate goal for my patient to make the best pos­si­ble deci­sion for her­self regard­ing her own health. I would like to be your part­ner in health care
