Changing Smiles, Transforming Lives

I feel fortunate to have found a career that I would not describe as work: I find so much joy in my daily interactions with patients and their families, as we work together to achieve the most beautiful smiles!

My path to becoming an orthodontist started when I had braces. The day my braces were removed, and I saw that amazing new smile for the first time, was incredible. The results of treatment had such a positive influence in my life that I knew I wanted to make the same difference for others.

I started practicing orthodontics in Alexandria alongside Dr. William Sansing. I am committed to living up to his high standards for quality treatment, a warm, friendly experience, and finished smiles that transform each patient’s life.

One of the best parts of orthodontics, beyond being surrounded by smiles all day, is the relationship I am able to develop with each patient. We start as acquaintances, and as treatment progresses, we become friends. That is a priceless experience and one I am lucky to experience over and over. Being part of a person’s smile journey is beyond rewarding!

ABO Diplomate

I believe that being an orthodontist requires a thirst for knowledge and dedication to learning something new every day. Part of my dedication includes being certified by the American Board of Orthodontics, an accreditation held by only one in three orthodontists.

As a Diplomate of the ABO, I am required to stay current with clinical advancements, which I do by attending monthly local dental association meetings, the annual national and regional orthodontics meetings, and the annual LSU Orthodontic Alumni meeting. Additionally, I participate in numerous online orthodontic forums and avidly read all of the relevant journals and research.

In orthodontics, there are multiple ways to achieve the same results. I want to make sure I stay up to date with the latest options and combine those with the tried and true methods. This ensures my patients receive the highest quality of care.

Beyond the Practice

I grew up in Baton Rouge and moved to Alexandria in June 2015 when my husband Keith, who is an Army ER physician, was stationed at Fort Polk.

Keith and I have three children: my stepson Turner and our twin girls Faye and Elise. We also have a dog, Rosco. When I’m not seeing patients, I’m almost always with my family and we’re usually outdoors. Weekends are spent traveling to spend time with friends and family. Personally, I love to go for a walk or a run — when I can find the time!
