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!

Functional medicine treats root causes of disease and restores healthy function through a personalized patient experience. Learn more at the Institute for Functional Medicine.

Appointments are conducted virtually via telehealth. There may be opportunities for in-person visits in the future.

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.

To offer the very best in care without the shortcuts often required by insurance companies, Rise is out-of-network, direct pay only. Please take the time to understand your insurance benefits and deductibles.

We can provide a superbill for the medical services included in your program, which you can submit to your insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement.

However, since our programs are structured as comprehensive, prepaid packages, it’s important to understand how superbills work in this context:

What’s included on a superbill?

A superbill is a detailed receipt that includes:

• Dates of your provider visits

• CPT (procedure) and ICD-10 (diagnosis) codes

• The provider’s credentials and NPI number

• Fees for eligible medical services

We itemize each billable medical visit (like your initial consult, lab review, or follow-ups), even though you’ve paid for the program as a bundle. These visits are assigned a fair-market rate and submitted individually.

What’s not included on a superbill?

Insurance will not reimburse for:

• Supplements

• Lab kits or blood draw fees

• CGMs, wearable devices, or scales

• Peptides or hormone therapy medications

• Health coaching, educational materials, or messaging access

These items are bundled into your program cost for convenience but are not reimbursable through insurance.

In many cases, yes—you can often use your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to pay for:

• Medical visits

• Functional lab tests

• Supplements (with appropriate documentation)

• Some devices or prescriptions (depending on your plan)

Let us know and we’re happy to provide the necessary receipts or letters of medical necessity.

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.
