I have a background in Dental Hygiene and graduated from Vermont Technical College in 2009.  Dental hygiene is strongly based in prevention and treatment of oral disease so when I first heard of Myofunctional Therapy I was excited to learn new ways to help serve my patients.  

Oral health has been linked to systemic whole body health in many ways and as a hygienist this is one thing I strive to educate patients about.  With my Myofunctional Therapy training I can now help them relate their orofacial dysfunctions to their overall health concerns. 

I grew up in Northern NY State, attended hygiene school in Vermont and have since practiced dental hygiene in New York, Minnesota, Oregon and now Wisconsin.  In 2021 I started my own Myofunctional Therapy practice in Central Oregon where I was able to help several patients achieve their orofacial myofunctional goals.  My Husband and I decided to relocate to Northern Wisconsin in early 2022. Being in a new state means creating a new practice, so now I have launched Northwoods Myofunctional Therapy to continue to help both adults and children get to the root cause of their symptoms. 

My husband and I and our two dogs love being outside and you can often find us hiking, camping, kayaking, cross-country skiing, fishing, or just relaxing in our backyard. 

I am excited to help you improve your health!

My career in dentistry began in 1996 when I graduated with an Associates Degree in Dental Hygiene from Northeast Wisconsin Technical College in Green Bay, WI. 

As a Dental Hygienist my focus has always been patient education and prevention along with understanding the whole body connection.

I completed my training in Orofacial Myofuncitonal Therapy in December 2023.  I am thrilled to be joining Northwoods Myofunctional Therapy in serving our community by helping patients discover and treat the root cause of their symptoms and restore normal function. 

My husband and I along with two of our amazing daughters moved to the Northwoods in 2014.  Our third daughter has a family of her own giving us three beautiful granddaughters. 

My relationship with God is the foundation my life is built on.  I enjoy spending time with family and friends, boating, hiking, camping, kayaking and snowmobiling. 

I would love to work with you on your journey to better health.
