About Samantha

Hi, I'm Samantha. I'm a Registered Dietitian based in Dallas, Texas. I earned my MS in Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and my BS in Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of Arkansas. With two years of experience in clinical nutrition with a focus on oncology, as well as sports nutrition, I bring science-backed guidance with empathy. I love cooking and baking, reading, walking my dog, and spending time outdoors. I practice in a warm, collaborative way, meeting you where you are as we work toward lasting changes.

Approach to care

My care philosophy is simple: care that is evidence-based, empathetic, and holistic. I believe in science-guided nutrition, but I meet you with warmth and curiosity, listening to your goals and barriers without judgment. We work together to build practical steps that fit your life, aiming for sustainable changes rather than quick fixes. I embrace health at every size and focus on behaviors, not a number on a scale. Education is a core part of my approach, empowering you to make informed decisions that nourish your body and your life.

Your first session with Samantha

Our first appointment is all about you. We'll review your medical history and dive into your relationship with food, past experiences, and current routines. No pressure, no judgment. Think of it as a conversation where we co-create a plan. We'll identify one to two short-term goals that feel doable and meaningful, and we'll outline what we need to move forward. You don't need to have everything figured out; we'll build your roadmap together and set you up for steady progress.
