I love watching the transformation that occurs with each patient. Whether Im caring for a child, teen, or adult, they gradually become more confident in their smile. With that confidence, they become more outgoing and comfortable talking and laughing with people. They walk a bit taller. Best of all, they smile broadly and happily.
Orthodontics is a constantly evolving field. With new technologies and treatments being perfected, its essential I remain current. Attending local and national conferences, and participating in orthodontic study clubs, ensures I am always up-to-date. Wanting the best for my patients is core to who I am; continuing education lets me provide them the best care.
I grew up in Alamo, CA, in a dental family. You might literally say I grew up in the office where I now practice. Im a second generation orthodontist, and the second generation to practice in this location.
After completing my orthodontic residency, my husband Steve and I moved to Danville, not far from where I grew up. Its here that weve raisedour two sons, Garrett and Braeden. Our home is shared with two dogs, Buddy and Roo, and our cat, Otto, as well.
When Im not working, Im most often trying to catch time with my boys who now live in Washington, DC and Colorado, both fun places to visit!During the winter we love to snow ski, and during the summer we love to water ski and go boating. When I have the time, I enjoy escaping into a good book, or losing myself in a movie.

We recently moved back to the Bay Area to be close to family. I have been working in Dental Administration for over 6 years. When I am not in the office, I enjoy spending time in nature with my husband and daughter. You can find me hiking, playing at the beach, or curled up in a hammock reading a book.
