She is an active member of the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health and most recently opened her own telemedicine practice, Glow Health, serving patients in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland.

    Connections - The Heartbreak All Around

    While the first week of the new year should be one of hope and anticipation, instead we are facing another week of heartbreak, tragedy and fear in our country and communities. I continue to wrestle with how to walk the line of wanting to be informed and participate as a good citizen, while also needing to regulate my nervous system so I can be a good mom, keep myself healthy and serve others. I don't have the answers and I'm as exhausted as you with the pain and fear we are all drowning in right now. I have pinpointed three things I am going to focus on to try and balance those needs while also staying true to myself. I share those with you today. Lots of love to all of you.
