At Reaching for Wellness, we believe the body is an intricate, interconnected system where hormones, metabolism, and lifestyle must work in harmony. Our clinic was founded on the principle that patients deserve more than a ten-minute appointment and a "normal" lab report. We are a clinical sanctuary designed for those who want to prevent illness, slow the aging process, and protect their quality of life before something breaks.
We bridge the gap between high-end medical expertise and the warm, inclusive feeling of a neighborhood home. Located in Baltimore County, our facility is a space where advanced functional medicine meets authentic human connection.
I am a licensed esthetician with over 20 years of hands-on experience in the skincare and beauty industry, dedicated to helping clients look and feel their absolute best—inside and out. My passion lies in creating customized treatment plans backed by expert product knowledge and a commitment to achieving healthy, radiant skin.
With an additional 3 years of experience as a medical assistant, I bring a clinical understanding to every service I provide. For the past 3 years, I have been proud to work at Reaching For Wellness Med Spa, where I specialize in skincare consultations, facials, chemical peels, and microneedling treatments tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals.
As a Catonsville native for over 25 years, I love serving and building lasting relationships within my community. Outside of the treatment room, I am a wife of 17 years and a proud mom to an amazing teenage daughter. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, supporting my daughter’s volleyball journey, and attending live music events whenever I can.

The clinic was established to challenge the "wait-and-see" model of modern healthcare. We saw too many people—especially women in perimenopause and menopause—being told their symptoms were just an inevitable part of aging. Reaching for Wellness was designed to be a place of answers. We built this practice to provide a dedicated home for medical weight loss, hormone optimization, and clinical aesthetics, all managed under one cohesive, medical roof.
What truly defines our clinic is our team’s "lived experience." Every provider here, including our founder, personally uses the programs and treatments we offer. We don't just prescribe these systems; we live them. This personal connection to the work allows us to relate deeply to your challenges and support you with authentic empathy.
We know the system works because we see the results in the mirror and feel them in our own lives every day.
The ultimate goal of Reaching for Wellness is to help you build a body that lasts. By focusing on the interconnectedness of your hormones and metabolism, we help you slow down the clock. Whether you are coming to us for Botox or BHRT, every treatment is handled with clinical integrity and a focus on long-term health. We are here to help you reach for a better version of yourself.
At Reaching for Wellness, we combine 25 years of medical wisdom with a forward-thinking, functional approach. We do wellness well because we care about the person behind the patient, and we are committed to helping you reach your goals with integrity and humor.
