Founder & Physician

I have been a practicing OB/GYN for approximately 20 years, and I've had the privilege of caring for women through all stages of life. But over time, I started noticing something that bothered me more and more: women in their 40s and 60s were feeling unseen and unheard.

They were taking care of everyone else around them — children, partners, parents, careers — and in the process, they'd lost themselves. When they started feeling off, or didn't recognize who they were anymore, they had no one to help show them a way back.

This was my story too. And I realized that if I felt this way as an OB/GYN, many of my patients had to be feeling the same way.

So I became certified in hormones and menopause, learned about safe, evidence-based weight loss, and trained in the therapies that help women — and men — who have been failed by traditional medicine. StrongHer MD is the result: a practice where you are heard, understood, and given a real path to getting your life back.
