Hello there!
I am a certified orofacial myologist serving Southwest Indiana, Southeast Illinois, and Northwest Kentucky. As one of only two providers in this region with specialized training in orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMDs), I am committed to delivering comprehensive, evidence-based care to children, adolescents, and adults.

I practice at Functional Face, where our approach centers on providing the time, tools, and expertise necessary to identify and address the root causes of dysfunction. With nearly 20 years of experience in the dental field—as both a registered dental hygienist and a myofunctional therapist—I bring a deep clinical foundation to my work. My early experiences serving on mission teams in Malawi, Kenya, and Haiti sparked a lifelong passion for oral health, service, and helping individuals achieve better overall wellness.

My clinical focus includes evaluating and treating a wide range of OMDs, including oral rest posture concerns, tongue thrust, restricted oral tissues, sleep-disordered breathing patterns, and airway-related issues. I value helping clients “connect the dots,” understand the underlying contributors to their symptoms, and navigate a clear, efficient treatment plan. I also work closely with parents to guide them through the next steps for their children in a way that is practical, collaborative, and mindful of both time and financial considerations.

Outside of work, my husband Ben and I have 2 sweet daughters Kennedy and Vivian. I enjoy spending time with them and whatever that entails!
