i’m writing a
book!
We Deserve More is the book I wish I’d had years ago — a fearless, unflinching look at how the medical system fails gynecological healthcare and how we can fight back. Drawing on my decade as an OB/GYN Physician Assistant and my work as a reproductive rights advocate, it’s both a wake-up call and a roadmap.
If you’ve ever had your pain dismissed, your symptoms minimized, or your questions brushed aside, this book will meet you there — validating your experience while equipping you with the tools, language, and confidence to advocate for yourself.
Part storytelling, part survival guide, We Deserve More is about reclaiming our voices, demanding better care, and rewriting the rules of a system that was never built for us in the first place.

Anyone who has ever felt unheard or dismissed in a doctor’s office will find something in these pages. It’s for patients navigating reproductive healthcare, parents guiding teens through their first visits, advocates fighting for better care, and even providers who want to do better inside a broken system.
-
We Deserve More is both a wake-up call and a guide. It exposes the systemic gaps in gynecological healthcare—why care so often feels rushed, dismissive, or incomplete—and gives you the tools to advocate for yourself. It’s part validation (you’re not imagining it) and part roadmap (here’s how to speak up, ask better questions, and get the care you deserve).
-
This isn’t a textbook or a “what to expect” guide—it’s a movement in print. We Deserve More doesn’t just explain how your body works; it reveals why the system often fails to care for it properly. With a mix of real-world stories, behind-the-scenes insight from clinical practice, and practical scripts for self-advocacy, this book bridges the gap between patients and providers like nothing else on the market.
-
I wrote We Deserve More because I lived it—as a clinician, an advocate, and a patient. After over a decade as an OB/GYN PA, I saw too many people fall through the cracks of a system that’s underfunded, undertrained, and under pressure. And then I experienced it myself—getting fired for speaking up about abortion access and LGBTQ+ care.
This book is my response. It’s for anyone who’s ever felt dismissed, confused, or unprepared in a healthcare setting. You’re not imagining it—and you’re not alone.
