About Samantha

As a registered dietitian, I am passionate about helping patients find realistic and sustainable ways to improve their health and well-being. With over five years of experience in both hospital and outpatient settings, Iā€™ve had the privilege of supporting individuals through a variety of challengesā€”whether itā€™s navigating nutrition support with tube feeding or TPN, managing the complexities of cancer treatment, or addressing chronic conditions like obesity, diabetes and kidney disease.

Approach to care

I use motivational interviewing to meet patients where they are, empowering them to make meaningful changes that fit their lives. I especially enjoy working with those managing blood sugar issues, and chronic illnesses helping them build habits that promote longevity and better quality of life. Whether itā€™s developing personalized meal plans, addressing weight loss concerns, or offering guidance on medications like Ozempic/Weygovy/Zepbound, my goal is to provide compassionate, practical support so my patients can thrive.

Your first session with Samantha

In our first session, weā€™ll review your medical history, complete a diet recall, and explore your eating habits, food preferences, and challenges. Together, weā€™ll set realistic goals and develop a personalized plan that fits your lifestyle. Iā€™ll also provide practical guidance based on your needsā€”whether itā€™s managing a condition, improving digestion, or building sustainable habits. My goal is to create a supportive, collaborative space, so you leave with clear steps to start making meaningful changes right away.
