“Only by owning who and what you are can you step into the fullness of life.”

- Oprah Winfrey

In women's mental health, we often talk about four key windows of vulnerability for women:

 

Puberty

Pregnancy

Postpartum

Perimenopause

 

My journey through these four key windows inspired my commitment to supporting women at the intersection of their health and the broader realities of their lives, by focusing on:

Physiological Changes

How hormonal shifts impact every aspect of daily life.

Psychological Factors

How women move through the emotional landscape of their reproductive and post-reproductive years.

Life Planning

How women can clarify personal and professional goals, including making decisions on if, when and how to parent.

Diverse Journeys

How our unique circumstances and complex health experiences shape us.

Access

How healthcare coverage and policy limit our access to care and health outcomes.

Women in the U.S. increasingly engage with the healthcare system as needs become more complex and preventive screenings become more routine. Consistency and type of care vary widely, highlighting ongoing gaps in comprehensive support as women navigate their experiences, often with little guidance. 

Our culture overlooks the depth, complexity, and value of women as they age. As mid-life women are re-evaluating their career, their relationships and their purpose, they are dealing with hormonal symptoms like irritability, anxiety, depression, brain fog, lack of focus, disorganization, hot flashes, night sweats, stiffness, weight gain, sleep disruption, fatigue and changes in libido.

These experiences are common, but too often minimized, misunderstood, and untreated. 

Moxie Women’s Health is grounded in a simple belief: you deserve support in becoming the strongest, most aligned version of yourself.

My work is shaped by 25 years of experience across hospitals, clinics, military family programs, and private practice—alongside my own lived experience with PMS, miscarriage, midlife pregnancy, birth trauma, postpartum anxiety, and perimenopause. With a foundation in psychology and clinical social work, I integrate evidence-based approaches with a real-world understanding of women’s health to provide comprehensive, meaningful support for women and families.

I believe every individual should receive a higher standard of care, including:

Curiosity

A space to slow down and truly understand what’s happening in your body and mind

Education

Meaningful conversations about health, hormones and the mind-body connection

Normalization

Acknowledgement that anxiety, depression, grief, executive dysfunction and ADHD deserve treatment

 

Connection

Collaboration with (and among) specialists. You don’t have to navigate this alone

 

Validation

Care that honors your identity, culture and unique story

 

Empowerment

Advocacy for your specific needs

 

Encouragement

Compassionate support

I support women through the full arc of life... where family, identity, health, and career intersect and evolve.​ I look forward to meeting you.
