Functional Medicine · Perimenopause & Recovery
Your hormones and your healing deserve the same care.
Helping women navigating perimenopause reclaim balance and wellbeing — especially when alcohol, food, or other comforts have quietly become the only tools that seemed to work.
You are not broken
What if the cravings aren't a character flaw — they're a hormonal signal?
You've done the work. You've tried to be better, stronger, more disciplined. But somewhere in your 40s, something shifted — the anxiety crept in, sleep became a war, and the glass of wine (or two) became the only thing that quieted the noise.
What conventional medicine never told you: perimenopause directly disrupts the same brain chemistry involved in reward, pleasure, and impulse control. The hormonal chaos of this transition isn't just hot flashes — it's a neurochemical storm. And reaching for relief? That's your body doing exactly what a body in chaos does.
You were never the problem. The missing connection was.
My approach
Where hormonal healing and recovery finally meet
I uncover the link between your hormones and your cravings.
Estrogen fluctuations directly impact dopamine and serotonin — the same pathways involved in addiction and pleasure. When estrogen drops, so does your brain's ability to self-regulate. That's not weakness. That's biology.
Perimenopausal insomnia and anxiety create the perfect storm for reaching toward any form of relief. Understanding this connection is the first step to lasting freedom.
I rebuild your neurochemical resilience — naturally.
My approach goes far beyond traditional addiction recovery and standard menopause management. We work at the intersection — restoring natural pleasure pathways, rebuilding emotional stability, and creating strategies that honor both your sobriety and your hormonal landscape.
No shame. No one-size-fits-all protocols. Just a deeply personalized roadmap built around your body.

About me
I've lived at this intersection.
That's why I understand it.
As a functional medicine practitioner specializing in women's hormonal health and recovery, I've spent years studying the powerful — and largely overlooked — relationship between perimenopause and addictive patterns.
I believe that when we treat the whole woman — her hormones, her neurobiology, her history, and her heart — real and lasting healing becomes possible. Not just symptom management. True transformation.
My approach combines functional medicine testing, hormonal education, nervous system support, and compassionate coaching to create a path that's entirely yours.
You don't have to walk this path alone.
