About

I’m passionate about helping people break free from orofacial pain, TMJ disorders, and sleep-related breathing issues — without turning to invasive measures or heavy medications. After earning my DDS from the University of Washington and a Master’s in Orofacial Pain and Oral Medicine from USC, I became board-certified in orofacial pain and a Fellow of the American Academy of Orofacial Pain. At TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of San Diego, I take a root-cause approach to care — addressing not just symptoms, but the underlying contributors — to help you feel, function, and live better. My team and I combine advanced diagnostics, personalized treatment plans, and compassion to make a real difference in your health. Outside of practice, I enjoy spending time with my family, staying active, and serving in my community.

Why I choose Thorne
