Welcome to OUR Lakewood Dental Practice

 I’ve known I wanted to be a dentist since middle school. Growing up with both of my parents practicing dentistry, I saw firsthand how meaningful it was to care for patients and build long-term relationships—and I knew I wanted to continue that path.

I attended the University of Florida for both my undergraduate degree and dental school, graduating in 2008. After that, I completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency in Jacksonville, also with UF, where I was able to expand my skills in comprehensive and patient-focused care.

After residency, I moved back home to the community where I grew up and have been practicing in St. Lucie and Indian River County ever since. In 2023, I was able to realize a dream when my dad retired and entrusted me with carrying on the practice he built. It means a great deal to me to continue the same legacy of trust, comfort, and genuine care that patients have always known here.

Outside of dentistry, I’m a mom to three wonderful kids, and we stay busy. I love keeping active—whether that’s running marathons, training for triathlons, or squeezing in a good functional fitness workout. You’ll also often see my goldendoodle, Axel, around the office. He’s our unofficial greeter and takes his job of making people smile very seriously.

I truly look forward to welcoming you to the practice.
