OUR APPROACH
Your Symptoms Deserve Real Answers
Too many women are told their symptoms are “just part of getting older.” We take what you’re feeling seriously, look at the full picture of your health, and walk you through every evidence-based option, hormonal and non-hormonal, so you can make an informed choice that fits your life.
SYMPTOMS WE TREAT
What We Can Help With
Menopause affects every woman differently. We treat the symptoms that matter most to you.
Hot Flashes & Night Sweats
Sudden waves of heat, flushing, and drenching night sweats that disrupt your day and your sleep.
Sleep & Energy
Trouble falling or staying asleep, waking during the night, and fatigue that drags through your day.
Mood & Brain Fog
Irritability, anxiety, low mood, and trouble concentrating or remembering things.
Vaginal & Sexual Health
Vaginal dryness, discomfort with intimacy, low libido, and urinary changes related to menopause.
Cycle & Weight Changes
Irregular, heavier, or skipped periods during perimenopause, plus shifts in weight and metabolism.
Not sure it’s hormonal? Some symptoms overlap with thyroid and other conditions. We’ll evaluate the full picture to find the cause.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Your Menopause Consultation
We listen first. We review your symptoms, cycle history, medical and family history, and what you most want to feel better.
We look at the full picture. Menopause is usually diagnosed from your symptoms and age, but we may order lab work, done right in our office, to rule out other causes like thyroid problems.
We build your plan together. You’ll understand the benefits and risks of each option, and we’ll follow up to make sure your treatment is working and adjust as needed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Menopause Questions, Answered
How do I know if I’m in perimenopause?
Perimenopause often begins in your 40s and can last several years. Common signs include irregular periods, hot flashes, sleep changes, and mood shifts. It’s usually identified from your symptoms and cycle history, and lab work can help rule out other causes, like thyroid problems.
Is hormone therapy safe?
For most healthy women under 60 or within 10 years of menopause, the benefits of hormone therapy for bothersome symptoms generally outweigh the risks, according to The Menopause Society. It may not be right for women with a history of breast cancer, blood clots, stroke, or heart disease, which is why we review your personal risks first.
Do all women need hormone therapy?
No. Some women manage symptoms with lifestyle changes or non-hormonal treatments, and others don’t need treatment at all. We’ll help you decide what makes sense for your symptoms and health.
How long can I stay on hormone therapy?
There’s no one-size-fits-all limit. The Menopause Society recommends an individualized approach, so we reassess your benefits, risks, and goals at least once a year.
What helps with vaginal dryness or painful sex?
Options include vaginal moisturizers and lubricants, low-dose vaginal estrogen, and other prescription treatments. Low-dose vaginal estrogen is considered safe for most women and can make a big difference in comfort.
Can treatment help with sleep, mood, and brain fog?
Often, yes. Treating hot flashes and night sweats usually improves sleep, and many women notice better mood and focus as a result. We’ll set realistic expectations based on your symptoms.
Do I need blood work?
Not always. Menopause is usually diagnosed from your symptoms and age, but we may order labs to check your thyroid or other causes, or to monitor treatment. Blood work can be done right in our office.
Can a nurse practitioner manage my menopause care?
Yes. Amy is a board-certified Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner with Full Practice Authority in Illinois, so she can independently evaluate, prescribe, and manage your menopause care.
