My path in dentistry began long before I earned my degree. I grew up in a family of five dentists, and I started working in my father’s periodontal practice when I was thirteen years old. I have held nearly every role in a dental office, from filing paperwork and working the front desk to developing X-rays and taking on every odd job in between. Because I have been immersed in this field my entire life, dentistry is more than a career for me. It is my lifelong passion.
These early experiences shaped my belief that oral health is deeply connected to your overall well-being. Today, I prioritize personalized treatment planning that focuses on the mouth-body connection. I want my patients to understand their health fully so they can feel confident in the care they receive. Every patient is different, and I truly enjoy the process of working together to find the right solutions for your specific needs.
My expertise includes preventive, restorative, and surgical dentistry. I offer a wide range of services, including general dentistry, crowns, bridges, root canals, extractions, and implants. I also provide Invisalign and facial esthetics, such as Botox and fillers, to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Beyond the Office
Originally from Western Massachusetts, I attended Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston. After graduating, I spent nearly a decade practicing in the Greater Boston area. My family and I eventually relocated to Naples to establish our roots and raise our daughter. While I have family spread across the globe from London and Australia to Michigan and Arizona, I am proud to now call Naples home.
When I am not in the office, I enjoy staying active with Peloton workouts and exploring local nature parks. Most importantly, I cherish quality time with my family and love watching my young daughter grow.
