I am originally from Minnesota but was raised in Georgetown, Texas. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Texas A & M University. Although a true Aggie, my dental degree is from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, where I was an active researcher in the cosmetic dentistry department. My focus in private practice has been in restorative and cosmetic dentistry. My wife and I live in Lantana and enjoy raising our twins.
While I am a native Texan, I have enjoyed opportunities that have taken me all over this great country. I was born and raised in Lytle, TX, about 30 minutes south of San Antonio. After graduating Summa Cum Laude from St. Mary’s University, I was accepted into the University of Texas at San Antonio Health Science Center Dental School. Upon receiving my D.D.S. in 1994, I made the decision to join the United States Air Force as a Dental Officer with the rank of Captain. During my six-year career in the Air Force, I completed an Advanced Education General Dentistry Residency and completed assignments at McGuire AFB, NJ , Bolling AFB, DC and The Pentagon. It was there in the Pentagon where I met my husband Jeff, who was stationed there as an Air Force Intelligence Officer. In 1999, we got married, separated from the Air Force and moved to Andover, Massachusetts (near Jeff’s home town). Initially, I worked as an Associate in a longstanding dental practice not far from Phillips Academy (George Bush’s prep school), however, after 5 years I made the decision to open my own practice – The Art of Dentistry. In 2007, after Jeff received a great job opportunity in Dallas we - along with our two beautiful daughters (Allyson-10 and Anna-7) - made the difficult decision to sell the practice and move back to where it all started – TEXAS!
My family and I live in Southlake, TX where I enjoy staying active - running, playing with my family and traveling all over the world. I am excited to be a part of the Cross Timbers Dental team and look forward to leveraging my skills and expertise to provide a world-class experience for each and every patient.

Born in Omaha, NE but raised in McAllen, TX, I consider myself a true Texan.I first discovered my love of dentistry at a young age and chose to attend Med High in Mercedes, TX to better foster this interest.After graduation, I relocated to pursue my undergraduate studies at the University of Texas San Antonio, where I gained acceptance into the Dental Early Admission Program (DEAP) affiliated with San Antonio’s Health Science Center Dental School.In 2002, I graduated Cum Laude from UTSA with a B.S. in Biology and obtained my D.D.S. in 2006 from UTHSCSA, where I received recognition for clinical excellence. While in dental school, I was a member of the American Student Dental Association and Xi Psi Phi Dental Fraternity.My professional affiliations include the American Dental Association and Texas Dental Association.
In November 2006, I married my husband Thomas, and a year later we welcomed our first child, Allyson Belen, into the world.I enjoy water sports on Lake Lewisville, tennis, walks, and travel and continue to cultivate a love for drawing and painting, first discovered as a child.
As a dentist, I understand the significance of the doctor-patient relationship and work closely with every patient to facilitate meeting their needs and expectations.I find it a privilege to utilize my skills and knowledge to serve the dental community, and it is my objective to work cohesively with our team at Cross Timbers Dental to provide optimal dental care for the entire family.
