Your Provider: Terrilee Jackel, ARNP, FNP-BC


Terrilee Jackel, ARNP, FNP-BC believes great care starts with listening. She explains options in plain language and builds a plan you can follow. You will always understand why a test is recommended, what your results mean, and how your treatment works.


Personalized, Straightforward Care


No two women have the same needs. We start with your story—symptoms, cycle patterns, lifestyle, and goals—and then design a plan that fits your life. We focus on small, steady steps that create real progress. You will leave each visit with clear instructions and an easy follow-up plan.


Preventive Care That Fits Your Life


Prevention is more than a yearly exam. We help you keep up with:

  • Screenings: Pap/HPV, breast imaging as indicated, and bone density testing at the right time.
  • Vaccines: Recommendations based on age and risk.
  • Labs: Thyroid, iron, vitamin D, A1C, and lipids when appropriate.
  • Lifestyle: Simple guidance on sleep, stress, movement, and nutrition to support hormones and mood.


Hormone Care, Perimenopause, and Menopause


If hot flashes, night sweats, mood shifts, low energy, or brain fog are affecting your days, we will look for the most direct cause. When hormone therapy is a good option, we review benefits and risks in a balanced way. Choices may include FDA-approved bioidentical estrogen and micronized progesterone, as well as non-hormonal treatments for those who prefer them or are not candidates. We aim for the lowest effective dose, close monitoring, and steady symptom relief.

Cycle and Fertility Concerns


Irregular cycles, heavy bleeding, painful periods, or PMS can disrupt daily life. We evaluate iron status, thyroid, and other contributors before recommending treatment. Options can include targeted nutrition, medications, and, when useful, hormone regulation with clear monitoring. If fertility is a goal, we start with cycle education and basic labs and coordinate referrals when needed.


Sexual Health and Comfort


Sexual wellness is part of overall health. We address vaginal dryness, discomfort, low libido, and pelvic pain with sensitivity and clear options—lubricants, vaginal estrogen when appropriate, pelvic floor therapy referrals, or other treatments. We also provide private, judgment-free STI testing and treatment.


Medical Weight and Metabolic Support


Weight concerns are common during perimenopause and menopause. We combine realistic nutrition, protein and fiber targets, simple activity plans, and medication only when appropriate and safe. We track more than the scale—energy, sleep, waist size, and body composition—to show real progress.


What to Expect at Your First Visit


  • Listen and learn: We review your health story, symptoms, and goals.
  • Targeted testing: Only the labs or imaging that will change your care.
  • Clear plan: Step-by-step guidance you can follow this week.

Safety, Privacy, and Evidence-Based Care

Insurance, Pricing, and Access
