Kia ora. I am a general dentist who enjoys providing calm, thoughtful care tailored to each patient. Early in my career, I noticed that many people weren’t just worried about their teeth — they were anxious about being judged or not being listened to. That realisation shaped how I practise today. I work across all areas of general dentistry, with a strong interest in preventive and restorative care. I particularly enjoy helping patients who feel anxious or have had difficult past dental experiences, and supporting them to feel more comfortable and confident over time.
What I value most about my work is building long-term relationships and helping patients make informed decisions that genuinely suit them.
I am involved in my local school community and serve as Presiding Member of my son’s school board, contributing to decisions that support students and whanau.
