As a gynecologist and educator, I believe that my patients deserve to be heard and to understand their conditions and treatment options in a safe and respectful environment. Health care is a collaboration between the patient and the provider that takes into account not only physical but also emotional and social needs. Everyone is unique and should be treated as such. I am committed to providing that personal and individualized care to my patients.

As a physician, I believe that patients should be an equal partner in making decisions regarding their healthcare. That decision making should start with providing a comprehensive explanation of the condition, management options and ending with collaborative treatment solutions.

Menopause brings serious health risks yet most of us do not receive information or treatments to mitigate these risks. As a busy mother of daughters, my perimenopause health challenges led me to a deep dive into the evidence. Taking the Menopause Society certification exam was the obvious next step and HeyElli, a modern menopause practice was born. As a Yale graduate, I am obsessed with the latest evidence. I intentionally develop mentoring relationships with other menopause providers so I can bring both the art and the science of modern menopause care to my clients. My clients want to live vibrant active lives, and appreciate a personalized approach. "Midwifing menopause" means education about options, hormone balance insights, and holistic guidance around nutrition, movement, mindset, sexuality, and sleep. I am a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, a Certified Nurse Midwife, and a professor of Nursing.
