Collinsville, St. Peters, Ballwin

I am passionate about dentistry for children and helping them reap the benefits of healthy teeth and a great-looking smile for life! If there’s one thing I hope to accomplish in my career, it’s helping all of my young patients learn to love visiting the dentist. There’s absolutely no reason a dental appointment should be intimidating. It’s my job to help children learn and understand the real benefits of excellent oral health!

St. Peters and Ballwin

I became a pediatric dentist because I love helping kids feel safe, happy, and confident when they visit the dentist. My family actually inspired me to choose this career—every one of my siblings is a dentist! I earned my degree in Biological Sciences at the University of Missouri, went to dental school at UMKC, and completed my pediatric dental residency at UNMC in Nebraska. Before residency, I worked in public health, where I launched a fund through the Nebraska Foundation to help kids get the dental care they need.

I became a pediatric dentist because I love helping kids feel comfortable and confident at the dentist. Those early visits are so important, and I want every child to leave with a big smile and healthy habits that can last a lifetime. My approach is simple—lots of patience, plenty of praise, and maybe even a few laughs along the way.

Collinsville

I’ve been a pediatric dentist for over 10 years and love helping kids feel comfortable and confident at the dentist. Before joining Blue Sage, I owned a private practice in Kansas, taught at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, and spent the last four years practicing in the St. Louis metro area. I’m also a board-certified diplomate with the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.

Turning 1? Time to come!
