Family Nurse Practitioner | Optimal Female & Men’s Wellness
Tayler is a nationally board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) who brings both clinical excellence and heartfelt compassion to her work in hormone optimization and wellness care. She began her career as a critical care nurse in the ICU, managing complex, high-acuity patients with skill and focus. That foundation shaped her calm, steady approach to medicine and gave her a deep appreciation for treating the whole person, not just the symptoms.
Since becoming an FNP, Tayler has worked in a variety of settings, including pediatrics, urgent care, and primary care. She also gained experience in holistic and integrative medicine while working in a chiropractic wellness clinic, further expanding her view of patient care. Her diverse clinical background allows her to offer thoughtful, personalized treatment to a wide range of patients, both in-person and virtually.
Tayler’s passion for hormone health is deeply personal. As a mother of two young daughters, she understands the physical and emotional toll that hormonal imbalances can take any portion of a woman’s life, especially during postpartum. Her own journey sparked a calling to help others feel like themselves again, with more energy, more clarity, and more joy.
At Optimal Female & Men’s Wellness, Tayler is committed to empowering her patients through education, empathy, and evidence-based care. She meets patients where they are—physically, emotionally, and hormonally, offering a safe space and a personalized plan to help them reclaim their vitality and confidence.
When she’s not seeing patients, Tayler is likely chasing her little ones, enjoying time with her husband, or fitting in a quick workout. She strives to live what she teaches, leading by example with a healthy, balanced lifestyle that inspires both her patients and her family.
Tayler’s blend of clinical knowledge, real-world experience, and sincere kindness makes her an invaluable part of the Optimal team, and a trusted partner on your wellness journey.
