Meet Your Therapist:
Hi everyone, welcome! I have been a practicing dental hygienist since 2014. I have worked in general and multispecialty offices but most of my career has been in pediatrics. In these years, I have seen the negative impacts of mouth breathing, dysfunctional swallow patterns, oral ties and low tongue posture. Limited with my knowledge on the topic at the time, I sought out continuing education on these issues to better treat our patients. It wasn't until I had a child of my own with significant oral dysfunction, impacting her health in a serious way that the curiosity turned into a passion. I was on a mission to help her breathe, sleep and live in a way that she deserved.
This journey as a mother on the search for help is what led me here! I completed my education in orofacial myology and continue to dive into this ever growing and changing field. I am excited to put the same drive and passion into my clients each and every day.
If you feel you or your child may benefit from myofunctional therapy or another provider has referred you for an evaluation, you may have some questions or even feel overwhelmed (I have been there!). I am happy to offer a free 20min phone or zoom conversation to see if you would benefit from an evaluation.
If you don't see availability online that suits you, please reach out to me directly and we can work something out. Thank you for being here, I look forward to connecting!
