My Story

I’ve been the patient who felt dismissed — and that’s why I practice differently.​

 

Living with my own autoimmune condition, I know firsthand how frustrating it can be to feel unheard, rushed, or told “everything looks normal” when you don’t feel like yourself. That experience shaped the way I care for my patients — with deep listening, validation, and a focus on root causes, not quick fixes.

 

​​I’m a board-certified Adult Gerontology Nurse Practitioner with specialized training in functional medicine and  hormone health. Over the past 16+ years, I’ve worked across urgent care, cardiology, mental health, med-surg, and primary care — and I bring that broad clinical perspective to every patient I see.

 

​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.​

 

Powerhouse Men's Health 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 patients 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 patients 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 training includes work with Dr. Felice Gersh, Nico Misleh, NP,  Women's Hormone Network,  Dr. Heather Hirsch, and Kristin Johnson & Maria Claps of Wise & Well.
