Meet Our Pediatric Dental Team – Northampton, MA | Amherst, MA | Greenfield, MA

Practice Manager

Tammy

Tammy looks forward to coming to work every day because she knows she’ll get to interact with energetic, curious patients as well as collaborate with our excellent team. She has over a decade of dental experience and degrees in accounting, psychology, and human services, meaning she’s always ready to jump in and make sure everyone has a positive time in our office.

Tammy says that the beach is her place of Zen, but when she isn’t relaxing using the gentle sounds of waves, she likes to spend quality time with her adult son and her two labs, Marley and Maggie. Fun fact: she is a diamond connoisseur and knows them like no other! 

Administrative Team

Corinne

Corinne looks forward to coming to our office every day because you never know exactly what’s going to happen when you work with children! She has been with our team since 2017 and is a graduate of UMass.

Corinne currently lives in the Pioneer Valley and is an avid music lover who enjoys listening to and discovering music from other countries. She is also an animal lover and hopes to add another cat to her family soon. She was a ballet dancer many years ago and even went to school to be an aesthetician/makeup artist, but life took her down another path, and she hasn’t looked back since!

Danielle R.

Danielle says that one of the most rewarding parts of her job is eliminating children’s fears and anxieties about going to the dentist. For her, nothing beats being able to make kids smile and create a pleasant environment for them to enjoy. She has over a decade of experience in the dental field, many of which involved oral surgery administration. Today, she is a certified medical and dental coder and has undergone extensive training focused on human resources, peer mediation, and business management.

Outside of the dental office, Danielle is happily married and enjoys spending quality time with her friends and family. She also loves animals, nature, traveling, hiking, and kayaking. In her spare time, you may find her teaching Yoga and/or practicing Reiki.

Danielle K.

Danielle loves working with children and getting to know their families as the years go by. When it comes to making sure that your child’s dental visits are affordable, she is the person to talk to! She attended Franklin Pierce University and is a certified medical and dental coder. She also has a bachelor’s degree in biology and chemistry.

Danielle is married with a young son, three dogs, and two cats. As a family, they love to spend time outdoors, and her own hobbies include crafting with her Cricut and riding four-wheelers with her husband.

Melissa

Melissa believes that our happy and fun atmosphere is what makes us different from your average pediatric practice, and she does her best to add to it! A graduate of the Porter and Chester Institute, she is also licensed in cosmetology and has owned/run a business for over 16 years.

While her son, Austin, and daughter, Gracie, get most of her attention outside of work, she also likes to go on hikes, rollerblade, and bike when she can.

Dental Hygienists

Jennifer

Jennifer has been in the dental field for over a decade and with Treehouse since 2015. She’s an expert at helping kids feel comfortable at the dentist, letting them (and you!) breathe easy during their appointments.

A South Hadley native, her free time is largely taken up by her two daughters and two dogs. When she has a moment, she is super obsessed with Harry Potter and also likes to hike and build with Legos.

Erin

Erin joined our dental team in 2020, and she brings over 30 years of experience to our practice! Her favorite thing to do is see a new patient and ensure that by the time they leave, they look forward to their next appointment. She completed her dental training at Springfield Technical Community College.

Erin is married and has one daughter, a standard poodle, as well as a horse. Her weekends usually involve watching her daughter compete in horse shows, visiting antique shops or flea markets, or reading out in the sun.

Jillian

With nearly three full decades of experience, Jillian finds it truly rewarding to work among wonderful people while creating a positive impact on the lives of our patients. From Belchertown High, she went on to take courses at Springfield Technical Community College to earn her license in dental hygiene, and she also received certifications in CPR and first aid.

Jillian loves being with her amazing and supportive family, and her hobbies include things like hiking, horseback riding, saltwater fishing, cooking, canning, paddleboarding, and gardening. One of her top favorite things to do is to grow flowers and see them develop at her farm stand.

Lauren

A graduate of Springfield Technical Community College and UMass, Lauren likes how our team works seamlessly together to ensure our patients feel comfortable and become excited about their oral health. She started with us as a dental assistant, studied to become a hygienist, and we were more than happy to welcome her back in a new role!

When she isn’t at the office, you’ll often find her hiking, running, cooking, and spending quality time with friends and family. Her “secret talent” is that she can sing the alphabet backward!

Dental Assistants

Donna

Donna has been with us for almost 20 years, and she has over 40 years of dental experience overall! She has always loved working with children and helping them feel comfortable while they’re getting healthy smiles. She was initially trained at Springfield Technical Community College.

Donna and her husband, Michael, have been married for over 35 years, and they have two adult daughters, three grandchildren, as well as a yellow Labrador. She loves to travel (especially to sunny places like Key West), spend as much time with the grandkids as possible, and take the dog out on walks.

Ja’Layna

One of the best things about Ja’Layna’s job is being able to help children achieve their healthiest and brightest smiles. Originating from Springfield, MA, she studied at Holyoke Community College before attending Springfield Technical Community College for her dental assisting license. She also worked to achieve certifications in HIPPA, CPR, and first aid.

Away from the office, Ja’Layna loves being with her mother, little sister, and their puppy named Cooper. Playing volleyball and baking sweet treats are some of her favorite things to do in her spare time. In fact, her dream goal is to own a bakery in the future.

Megan

Megan says that the best part of her day is seeing the excited expressions on our patients’ faces when they get their prizes after appointments—she says we have the best ones she has ever heard of! She graduated from STCC and is currently studying to become a hygienist (she hopes Treehouse will be her home after she graduates!).

Away from the office, you’ll usually find her warming up outdoors, trying new restaurants, going out with family and friends, or hard at work studying.

Tammy S.

Tammy joined us in 2024 and has over a decade of experience. She was trained through the Porter and Chester Institute and does her best to make sure every appointment is a positive, productive, and educational experience for our growing patients.

While her favorite thing to do is go on trips to new places, back at home, you’ll often find her working hard either at the gym or in her garden.

Amanda

As a native of Greenfield, Amanda loves spending time and being silly with the children while helping them get their pearly whites nice and clean! She studied at Southern New Hampshire University to earn her license in dental assisting, and she also received advanced training and certifications in CPR, radiology, and OSHA.

If you don’t find her at the office, Amanda is likely spending time with her fun and adventurous family. She enjoys gardening, farming, hiking, beer brewing, and playing bingo with loved ones. One interesting fun fact: she used to work as a chef for 11 years before getting into dentistry!
