Owner & Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist

INTRODUCING

With over 16 years of clinical experience as a Registered Dental Hygienist, I bring a deep understanding of oral health, function, and patient care that extends far beyond routine treatment. My work with both adults and children across a wide range of ages, backgrounds, and clinical needs has shaped the way I approach myofunctional therapy. I am a highly observant, compassionate, and thorough therapist who takes a holistic approach, recognizing that each patient is unique and that meaningful progress begins with truly individualized care.

I bring a vibrant, positive, and encouraging presence to each session, helping both children and adults feel comfortable, supported, and confident throughout the therapy process. Patients often share that they feel genuinely heard and understood, and that my whole-health perspective helps them better understand how oral function, breathing patterns, sleep quality, and daily habits influence overall wellness.

I take pride in educating patients clearly and thoughtfully, empowering them to make informed decisions about their health without feeling overwhelmed. Patients can expect a provider who is attentive, intentional, and highly thorough at every step, taking the time to explain the “Why” behind each recommendation while tailoring care to align with individual lifestyles, needs, and long-term goals.

I approach my work with professionalism, passion, and attention to detail, grounded in a strong commitment to evidence-based, patient-centered care. My goal is to support lasting change rather than temporary fixes. Together, we work toward sustainable results that promote lifelong function, comfort, and overall wellness.

Family-First Wellness

As a Registered Dental Hygienist, I have extensive experience in preventive care and disease management. Through my work in dentistry, I’ve seen firsthand how airway health and oral function are often overlooked in patient care. Patients of all ages present with narrow jaws, crowded teeth, jaw pain, chronic mouth breathing, and dark circles under their eyes—which are signs of sleep deprivation. Ignoring these indicators is a missed opportunity as a healthcare provider. Patients deserve to be informed about how these issues affect their overall health and to explore all available treatment options, empowering them to make the best decisions for their well-being. 

 

I believe in the power of prevention and early intervention. As someone who prioritizes optimal health for both myself and my family, I felt a strong calling to expand my expertise through Myofunctional Therapy. This path allows me to take a more holistic approach, helping patients uncover and address the root causes of their symptoms rather than just managing them. 

I am deeply committed to this work because I see the meaningful impact it has on people’s health and quality of life. My passion for learning and growing in this rapidly evolving field drives me every day, and I am honored to be an advocate for my patients on their journey to better health.
