From the practitioner: About My Practice

Allopathic medicine has a definite role in womens health, however through additional training with IFM and courses with Aviva Romm, I am also able to help women improve their health and vitality by including lifestyle, nutrition, stress management, sleep, exercise and supplements. I believe that improving health is one of the best gifts I can offer to others. I went into Obstetrics and Gynecology to empower women to greater health. My mission hasn’t changed however there are limits to the western medicine approach and I am better equipped to address the whole person after taking courses through the Institute of FunctionalMedicine.

From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

In over 20 years of practice, I have seen that the best healing occurs when there is a partnership between patient and provider. My goal is to create a partnership with each patient in order to help them make choices that will help them feel better.
