He’s known for his work with oral ties, nervous system regulation, and pre-/post-op care for procedures like frenectomies.

He’s a big believer in collaborative care and works closely with everyone from midwives and ENTs to osteopaths and lactation consultants. Based in Santa Barbara, he also sees patients across California—from LA to the Bay Area—and is expanding to Pacific Grove. Outside the clinic, he’s a husband, father of three, and deep thinker who’s passionate about nervous system health, human connection, and the healing potential in all of us.
