Perimenopause and Menopause

Treatment Options

Individualized treatment options for every stage of your journey

Perimenopause

The storm before the calm

No, you're not losing your mind. Things change in perimenopause, which can start in a woman's mid-30's, and may last for a decade or more. You may be feeling symptoms of brain fog, fatigue, vaginal dryness, heavy menstrual bleeding, hot flashes...the list goes on.


Every woman's experience is different, and a variety of treatments (hormone therapy, medication, and herbal options) are available. Individualized protocols include recommendations for nutrition, fitness, sleep & stress management, and supplements and/or prescription options as needed.

Menopause

Time to focus on the big picture

Once a woman has gone 1 year without a menstrual period, she is officially in menopause. The bothersome symptoms of perimenopause gradually decline, and many women find their attention shifting toward their long-term health.


This is the perfect time to prevent chronic diseases, such as Type 2 Diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and osteoporosis. I love working with women to optimize their health, helping them age with wellness.

Menopause Society Certified Practitioner

I'm proud to be certified by The Menopause Society as an expert in treating women in perimenopause and beyond. Practitioners with the MSCP certification must pass a rigorous exam and earn additional menopause-related continuing education credits every year. This is where my passion for improving the lives of women meets science and clinical best practices.

Real Stories From Our Community

"I have had the best experience working with Dr. Alisha. She cares a lot about my success to lose weight in a healthy way and to feel better in my body as I go through perimenopause and it's working! I feel heard and understood and she doesn't sugar coat things. She patiently explained the lab results, and made recommendations that were practical and personalized. I’m feeling stronger than ever and more in tune with my body for first time."

From our very first meeting, I was blown away by Dr. Alisha's depth of knowledge, passion and no-nonsense approach to helping women navigate the often murky waters of hormone health. There is so much conflicting information and stigma around perimenopause and menopause and each woman's journey is so personal. Having Dr. Alisha in my corner was a game changer for me. I feel so educated and empowered to navigate the road ahead with confidence, to advocate for my physical and mental health, and feel my best.
