Reason for joining the directory
As a member of the community, I want to ensure other's receive affirming and inclusive care within the scope of dentistry. It is important as a provider to raise specific concerns to this patient demographic and more importantly to raise awareness and create a welcoming, judgement free environment for all of my patients.

LGBTQ+ training
I have formal training and experience working with diverse populations, including LGBTQ+ individuals. In my dental practice, I ensure that all patients feel comfortable and respected, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Additionally, as a member of the LGBTQ+ community myself, I bring personal understanding and empathy to the care I provide. I aim to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels safe to express their needs, and I stay informed on best practices to serve LGBTQ+ patients with dignity and professionalism.
