I earned my Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science and Health from Ithaca College in 1998, followed by my Doctor of Medicine degree from Albany Medical College in 2003. After completing my residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Rochester in 2007, I further specialized by earning a postgraduate certificate in Sexuality Counseling and Sexuality Education from the University of Michigan in 2021.

My mission is to empower patients and healthcare providers with the knowledge and tools to prioritize sexual health and well-being at every stage of life. Through clinical care, education, and advocacy, I work to break down barriers, eliminate stigma, and address the widespread gaps in understanding around midlife health and pleasurable, pain-free intimacy.

As both a clinician and an educator, I am dedicated to advancing the field of sexual health by teaching future healthcare professionals, mentoring providers, and delivering compassionate, patient-centered care. By bridging the knowledge gap between patients and providers, I strive to create a world where sexual health is recognized as a vital component of overall wellness.
