ABOUT YOUR THERAPIST

Rooted in dental health.
Dedicated to whole-person care.

Hi, I'm Jennifer — a Registered Dental Hygienist with certification in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy, serving the Roseville, Rocklin, and Lincoln communities of Northern California.

My journey into myofunctional therapy grew out of over a decade of clinical dental hygiene practice. Sitting chairside with patients every day, I kept seeing the same patterns — mouth breathers with narrow arches and crowded teeth, children who snored, adults grinding away at night, orthodontic patients whose results didn't hold. When I started to see these same signs in my own children, I knew I wanted to understand what was happening more deeply.

That curiosity led me to complete specialized training and to build a private practice dedicated entirely to this work. I believe that dental and orofacial health aren't just about teeth — they're about how we breathe, how we sleep, how we develop, and how we feel in our bodies every single day.

My approach is evidence-based and collaborative. I work closely with orthodontists, ENTs, sleep physicians, dentists, and other providers to offer truly integrated care. And I meet every patient — child or adult — where they are, with patience, encouragement, and a program built around their specific needs.

My clinical philosophy

The mouth is the gateway to the airway — and the airway is the gateway to everything else. When we restore proper function to the orofacial muscles, we create the conditions for better breathing, better sleep, better development, and better quality of life. That's what I'm here to help you build.

Collaborative Care

Working with the right team

Myofunctional therapy is most effective as part of a coordinated care network. I actively collaborate with and accept referrals from providers across the following specialties in the greater Sacramento region:

General Dentistry

ENT/ Otolaryngology
