You don’t have to keep telling yourself that feeling this way is normal, nor should you continue to waste money on endless supplements that have no effect on your health and performance.
I created this program for athletes because I have experienced the consequences of over-stressing my mind and body. Simultaneously, I began to see similar patterns in the symptoms and labs of my athlete patients. They were depleted and it was affecting not only their performance but their QUALITY OF LIFE.
We know intense exercise affects every system in the body, but when we continuously push our limits, we need different and better tools to remain healthy, resilient, and performing at our best.
Intense training can create chronic energy and nutrient depletions that lead to impairments in gut health, which creates systemic inflammation that ultimately affects performance, sleep, mood, and energy levels.
These symptoms aren’t unique to athletes, however, the underlying causes of these symptoms ARE unique, and this is where conventional medicine falls short.
This program goes beyond the conventional by utilizing advanced diagnostic tools to determine the unique factors that are contributing to your symptoms. Once we have the appropriate data, we implement the best tools available to resolve your underlying causes SUCCESSFULLY.
Program: 6-Month Performance Optimization
Key Results: Restored energy, improved recovery, regular menstrual cycle, returned to 22-mile training days
These aren't quick fixes or one-time consultations. These are comprehensive programs that address root causes and deliver lasting results.
Systemic immune activity is generated by gut inflammation during intense training. Over time, we may also see changes in neurotransmitters, which impact mood, energy, and stress.
Intense training (without the right program) can cause changes to our stress response and cortisol levels, decrease testosterone, and decrease bone density, which can increase risk of stress fracture or injury.
Intense training can exacerbate normal hormonal changes that occur in mid-life (30s-50s). This can compound nutrient deficiencies, gastrointestinal symptoms, energy, and mood changes.
We can support you during all stages of training, competition, and post-competition recovery.
Personalized precision care is what defines functional medicine. This level of precision is necessary when diagnosing and treating the complex, multi-system symptoms that can result from prolonged, strenuous training and competition.
But when you identify the real causes and treat them with the right tools, not only are performance and recovery enhanced, but so are mood, energy, and quality of life.
Yes, I work with this population frequently. We utilize testing of nutrient levels, hormones, inflammation, bone health, mitochondrial function, gastrointestinal health and more to ensure you are optimally positioned for healing.
Treatments include nervous system support, hormone therapy, supplementation, and other individualized interventions.
Please note there are complexities with these conditions that require physical exams and management by your primary care or sports medicine provider to ensure you get the very best care.
Additionally, I recommend that you have consulted with a sports dietician before seeking care with me.
This will guarantee we make the most out of our work together.
I will collaborate with your team to the degree that you are comfortable!
No! Any individual who consistently pushes their physical limits is at risk of chronic physiologic maladaptive changes to nutrients and hormones and can benefit from regular, comprehensive testing and a personalized treatment and wellness plan.
Endurance athletes are at risk of nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, and hormonal changes that may not be perceived as symptoms. We are known to push through discomfort! I still recommend this program for you.
I accept any gender and member of LGBTQIA+ community.
I currently accept patients located in Florida*, Maryland, Massachusetts, Virginia, Washington, D.C., and Colorado.
I will be seeing patients in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington in 2025!
If you do not live in these locations, reach out or check back soon as this list is likely to expand!

I will provide you with an order for bloodwork after our first visit, which you can complete at a local Labcorp.
Other functional tests such as stool tests, saliva, and breath tests can be sent directly to your home and shipped from your home to the lab. We have partnered with Rupa Health and Evexia to streamline this testing process.
Nurse practitioners are ideal functional medicine practitioners due to their dual training in conventional and holistic diagnostic and treatment modalities. Nurse practitioners are trained how to implement a therapeutic encounter through deep understanding of the mental, emotional, and spiritual health of the patient.
Yes. As a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, I can prescribe medications, including bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and peptides, when clinically appropriate.
I have advanced training in hormone optimization through the North American Menopause Society (NAMS) and have completed specialized education with Dr. Neil Rouzier, a leading expert in evidence-based hormone therapy.
With years of experience prescribing HRT and peptides for both perimenopausal women and endurance athletes, I ensure that every prescription is personalized based on your labs, symptoms, goals, and overall physiology.
I am an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner (IFMCP), Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), and board-certified Nurse Practitioner through the AANP. I received my doctorate from Frontier Nursing University and my Family Nurse Practitioner degree from George Washington University. I have received extensive training in the biological sciences—including anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, epidemiology, blood chemistry, and pharmacology—as well as hormone therapy, gender-affirming care, and conventional medical diagnosis and treatment. In addition, I have completed comprehensive training in clinical nutrition and lifestyle counseling. I’ve also completed dedicated continuing education focused on the unique health needs of female athletes, including hormone optimization, energy availability, and performance support. I am also a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance.
Many of my clients are a lot like me - high achieving athletes.
I’m also a certified functional medicine practitioner with a passion for gut and hormone health. I believe we all have an innate, natural power to heal- partly because I’ve been in your shoes.
