About

Before entering dentistry, I studied architecture extensively and worked at an architecture firm. That experience shaped how I think about structure, proportion, spatial relationships, and the balance between form and function.

I bring that same perspective to orthodontics. Beyond straight teeth, I focus on how the dentition, jaws, facial growth, and function interact to support balanced, thoughtful treatment outcomes.

My training has included comprehensive orthodontics and complex clear aligner therapy, as well as advanced craniofacial, surgical, and interdisciplinary care. Working with patients with complex needs has sharpened how I diagnose, plan treatment, communicate, and coordinate care across the full spectrum of orthodontic patients.
