Integrative Oncology is a client-centered, research-backed field of cancer care that can enhance traditional cancer treatments. It aims to optimize health, quality of life, and clinical outcomes. It can help clients gain a sense of control and encourage them to be active participants.

My approach encompasses more than just relieving symptoms. I focus on restoring balance to your body to alleviate the anxiety associated with a cancer diagnosis. This involves identifying the root causes and providing a personalized diet, lifestyle changes, and supplement plans that cater to your individual needs.  I am also well-versed in how food and supplements can complement conventional therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery.  Together, we can collaborate with your current medical team to provide additional specialized support. 

The ultimate goal is to promote long-term health and wellness while reducing the risk of cancer returning.

I’m excited to assist you in this field, whether locally right here in East Texas or wherever you are in the country. We can have a friendly conversation in person or collaborate remotely.
