Meet the Livewell Dental Team

Hello and welcome to Livewell Dental! I have the pleasure of being the first face you'll see when you visit our clinic.

I was born and raised in El Salvador and have been living in the beautiful Lorton area since 2010. I am a huge fútbol fan (Hala Madrid!), love traveling and enjoy being outdoors/staying active.

Welcoming and assisting patients is something I'm truly passionate about. Working alongside Dr. Chris and the Livewell Dental team is an incredible experience, we share the same vision and passion for providing genuine care and support to our patients. Together, we strive to create a warm and welcoming environment, ensuring that each person who walks through our doors receives the best possible care and attention.

We can't wait to meet you!

Hello! I’m a dental assistant with a passion for the hands-on and creative aspects of dentistry. I love being part of a team that helps patients feel confident in their smiles while making their dental experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

I enjoy traveling to see my favorite groups perform—BTS, Tomorrow X Together, and Seventeen. Experiencing their concerts in different places combines my love for music and adventure! At home, I spend my time with my loyal companion, Rambo—my amazing dog who keeps life exciting. I also have a deep love for traveling in general and hope to explore as much of the world as possible, experiencing new cultures and making unforgettable memories along the way.

Hello! I’m Cayla, one of the dental assistants here at Livewell Dental.
I graduated from UVA with a degree in Cognitive Science, and I’m continuing my journey toward becoming a dentist.

What I love about dentistry is that it brings together so many things I care about: art, science, and the chance to connect with people in a meaningful way.

At the office, I enjoy getting to know our patients, helping them feel comfortable, and being part of the process that helps someone smile with more confidence.

Outside of dentistry, I love building LEGO sets, watching Formula 1, and oil painting.
I’m so excited to meet you and help make your experience here a great one.

Hello! I’m Robyn, the dental hygienist here at Livewell Dental.

I graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2013 and first joined Dr. Chris and the Livewell Dental team in 2021. After two years with the practice, my family moved overseas for a few years as part of military life. Now that we’re back in the area, I’m so happy to be back at Livewell and reconnecting with familiar faces while getting to know new ones.

One of my favorite parts of being a dental hygienist is building relationships with my patients. I want people to feel comfortable when they’re here, understand what’s happening with their oral health, and leave feeling like they have someone on their side. To me, great dental care is not just about taking care of teeth. It is about creating a positive experience and helping people build healthy habits they can carry with them for years.

Outside of the office, I’m a mom to two young children and two energetic dogs, so life stays pretty busy! I love traveling and spending time outdoors with my family, whether we’re hiking, exploring somewhere new, or spending a day at the beach. When I have some quiet time, I also love baking and crochet.

I’m grateful to be back with the Livewell Dental family and look forward to getting to know you and your family!

Hi! My name is Erica, and I'm an Insurance Support Specialist at Livewell Dental.

What I truly enjoy about working with Dr. Chris and the team is the constant opportunity to grow and discover new skills. I find immense satisfaction in building systems that help patients feel supported and ensure their appointments go smoothly. Contributing to something meaningful keeps me motivated and engaged every day.

Outside of work, I'm a big fan of K-pop idols—especially the group Seventeen—and I love getting lost in Korean movies and music. I also enjoy watching sunsets, being in high places where I can see mountains and city lights, and spending quality time with my family and friends. These peaceful moments help me recharge and stay grounded.

Above all, I believe in the power of positive communication and the importance of lifelong learning. I'm excited to be a part of your dental journey and look forward to helping make your experience with us smooth and stress-free!

Hi, my name is Kona, and I am the office mascot! Although you won't see me during business hours, I work off-hours to make sure every office corner is sparkly clean!

To look a part of being the mascot of a dental office, I brush my teeth daily and stay away from sweets. It's ruff!

When I am not busy working, I like to play fetch or take a stroll around Old Town Alexandria with my loving pawrents.
