Dr. Kate, as her beloved patients call her, has been in private practice in South Central Pennsylvania since 2009. She is committed to staying on the cutting edge of dentistry and takes numerous hours of continuing education in areas such as digital dentistry, esthetics, sedation, laser dentistry, pediatrics, and orthodontics.

“I went into dentistry because I am passionate about helping people and it is my mission to make coming to the dentist a positive experience. With today’s technology such as the Solea laser, dentistry can now be pain-free and pleasant. I know that dental anxiety affects many people young and old, and it is my goal to alleviate their fears through a relaxed environment and a gentle touch. I want all dental visits to end with a smile!”
Originally from Michigan, Dr. Kate also believes in giving back to the community and regularly volunteers at Christ Lutheran Church dental clinic in downtown Harrisburg. She is also a volunteer soccer coach and girl scout co-leader for her children. Outside of dentistry, Dr. Kate stays busy with her husband Alan, a native of Elizabethtown, PA and their three young children, Addison, Andrew, and Brynn. She enjoys running, baking, biking, and traveling. She looks forward to meeting you and helping you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile!
