Personalized GLP-1 therapy for weight management
that treats the whole you.
not just the number on the scale.
For years, I watched patients try to out-discipline their own hormones. They cut calories, increased cardio, and still gained weight because glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) signaling, insulin sensitivity, and appetite regulation were working against them. My practice focuses on correcting those metabolic signals first. GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide and tirzepatide mimic the incretin hormones your gut releases after eating—slowing gastric emptying, reducing glucagon secretion, and signaling satiety to your brain. That is not a shortcut; it is a medical intervention for a measurable biological problem. I combine that intervention with realistic nutrition and lab monitoring so your plan works with your physiology, not against it.
I run this clinic as a local practice, not a national telehealth platform. You get a physical exam, medication management, and follow-up from me—one provider who knows your chart. Before starting semaglutide or tirzepatide, I check contraindications like personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, pancreatitis, or gastroparesis. That level of in-person clinical judgment is necessary because GLP-1 agonists slow gastric emptying and can worsen certain GI conditions.
Your first visit includes a metabolic health assessment: fasting glucose, HbA1c, lipid panel, and kidney and liver function tests. These numbers tell me whether you have insulin resistance, prediabetes, or other conditions that change how I dose your medication. For example, if your HbA1c is elevated but under 6.5%, I may start at a lower dose and monitor more frequently to avoid hypoglycemia when combining with other drugs. I don't guess; I measure.
GLP-1 medications reduce appetite, so you can lose lean mass if protein intake drops too low. I set a daily protein goal based on your lean body mass, usually 1.2 to 1.6 grams per kilogram of body weight, and adjust calorie targets as your weight changes. We also track hydration and bowel habits, since slowed gastric emptying often causes constipation. This is not a diet sheet; it's a clinical protocol for maintaining muscle and energy while the medication does its job.
I offer a no-pressure phone consultation to review your health history, current medications, and weight history. I'll tell you if you are a likely candidate for GLP-1 therapy, what labs you need to bring, and what the first month of titration looks like. If I think a different treatment would serve you better, I'll say that plainly. You leave the call with a clear next step, whether that's an appointment or a referral.
I believe weight management isn't about shrinking yourself—it's about expanding your energy, confidence, and joy. Every body has its own biology, and when we treat the whole person instead of just the number on the scale, real change happens. Here, weight care feels less like a chore and more like a kind, honest conversation with someone who truly listens.

No two bodies are alike, so why follow the same old plan? I dig into your health history, labs, and goals to build a GLP-1 approach that fits your real life—not a template.

As a Nurse Practitioner, I combine clinical skill with a watchful eye on safety. You get thorough assessments, honest answers, and adjustments based on how your body responds—not a prescription and a wave goodbye.

We'll sit down (virtually or in person) to talk about your health history, goals, and concerns. There's no judgment, no pressure—just me listening and learning about you.
01
I'll review your labs and do a detailed metabolic assessment to make sure GLP-1 therapy is safe and right for you. This step ensures we're building on solid ground.
02
Together, we'll design a plan that's as unique as you—medication (if indicated), realistic eating strategies, movement ideas, and mindset shifts that fit your real life.
03
Once you start, I'm with you every step. We'll have regular check-ins to track progress, manage any side effects, and adjust as needed. You'll never walk alone.

GLP-1s are medications that help regulate appetite and blood sugar. They work with your body’s natural hormones to reduce hunger, slow digestion, and support healthier metabolic function—making weight loss more achievable when diet and exercise alone haven’t worked.
I’m a local Nurse Practitioner who personally sees you, listens to your story, and creates a plan just for you. You get in-depth consultations, honest medical advice, and continuous support—no one-size-fits-all scripts or rushed visits.
We’ll have a relaxed, no-pressure conversation about your health history, goals, and challenges. Then I may recommend labs to make sure GLP-1 therapy is safe and appropriate for you. You’ll leave with clarity and a sense of direction.
Medication is just one tool. I emphasize realistic eating strategies, gentle movement, and mindset shifts so your results last. You’ll get personalized nutrition and lifestyle coaching along with regular check-ins.
Not always—that’s why I do a thorough assessment first. I review your health history and labs to make sure it’s right for you. Safety and honesty come first, and I’ll never push a treatment that isn’t a good fit.
Many people notice appetite changes within days, but real transformation takes time—usually weeks to months. I’m with you through follow-ups, side-effect management, and encouragement so you never feel alone on this journey.
