Menopause Care
Perimenopause & Menopause Care in Eugene, Oregon
Caring for women through the menopause transition is a passion of mine. As both a board-certified family physician and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, I offer care guided by evidence, with attention to your symptoms, safety, and long-term health.
You'll have time to discuss what's changing and make a plan with me that fits your needs. This care is included in your comprehensive primary care membership.
The menopause transition
Every woman's experience is different. You may notice subtle changes or have symptoms that affect your sleep, work, relationships, and daily life. The symptoms and their intensity can also change over time.
Your visits can address:
- Hot flashes, night sweats, and changes in periods
- Sleep, mood, and concentration concerns
- Vaginal dryness and discomfort with sex
- Urinary symptoms
I listen, consider other possible causes, and help you make sense of what's happening.
My approach
Depending on your symptoms and health history, options may include hormone therapy, nonhormonal treatments, and changes that support your day-to-day health.
You and I will discuss the benefits and risks and make a plan that fits your needs and preferences. Unhurried follow-up visits give us time to see what's helping, review side effects, and adjust your care.
Your health beyond symptoms
Midlife can also bring body changes and shifts in metabolic health, including changes in cholesterol and how your body responds to insulin.
Alongside symptom relief, I address metabolic health, cardiovascular risk, and bone health. This includes appropriate screening and treatment, along with practical guidance on nutrition, movement, strength training, and sleep.
My goal is to help you feel better, understand your health, and thrive during this stage of life and beyond.
Care at Northward Health
Menopause care is part of your comprehensive primary care membership. I also provide preventive care, manage chronic conditions, and care for everyday health concerns, so you can address these needs with the same physician.
My MSCP credential reflects demonstrated knowledge of menopause care through The Menopause Society's competency examination.
