And thresholds are disorienting. The sleep is off. Your moods have become unpredictable. The body doesn't respond the way it used to. The things that used to be automatic — energy, desire, patience, clarity — aren't showing up the way they used to.
That doesn't have to be the story of this chapter.
All of it can be helped. Not managed into silence. Not pushed through. Actually helped — with real medicine, real lab work, and a doctor who wants to know not just what's happening in your body but what's happening in your life.
Because the sleep and the stress and the creative life you keep putting off and the relationship that needs renegotiating — those aren't separate problems. They're one story. And I want to hear the whole thing.
This is not a protocol. It's a practice built around you specifically.
We start with a two-hour intake — a deep dive into your whole picture. Your body, your history, your life. Comprehensive lab work follows, looking at everything from nutrients and metabolism to stress hormones, thyroid, cardiovascular health, and inflammatory markers.
Then we work together over the course of a year. Nine visits, scheduled upfront so they actually happen. Unlimited messaging between visits. A doctor who already knows your whole story and doesn't need you to repeat it.
You can tell me you ate saltines for dinner. You can tell me you lost your temper. You can show up exactly as you are.
All new patients begin with a free 15-minute discovery call. We'll talk about what's going on and whether this is the right fit — for both of us.
I'm a licensed naturopathic doctor with twenty years in clinical practice, based in Maine and Arizona. I specialize in women's health — perimenopause, menopause, hormones, thyroid, and the unique complexity of midlife.
I've learned to listen for what conventional medicine misses. My practice is small by design.
