Samantha’s passion for nutrition began in high school after working with a health coach, an experience that inspired her to pursue a career as a Registered Dietitian. Through her own journey, she quickly realized there is no one-size-fits-all approach to health, which sparked her curiosity to better understand the science of nutrition and how to support the body in a sustainable way.
Having struggled with her weight for years, Samantha tried countless fad diets and quick fixes, only to realize that none of them were the long-term answer. This experience shaped her belief that true health isn’t about restriction or perfection, but about building sustainable habits and a balanced relationship with food.
What started as a desire to help herself avoid falling into a restrictive mindset grew into something much bigger. She is deeply grateful to have chosen this path, as it allows her to help others gain the knowledge, confidence, and balance around food that she once wished she had. Empowering clients to feel informed, supported, and in control of their health is at the heart of everything she does.
Samantha’s philosophy is about helping individuals build a healthy, balanced relationship with food and their bodies. She believes nutrition should feel supportive and realistic, not overwhelming or restrictive. Samantha’s approach focuses on meeting clients where they are and creating sustainable habits that fit naturally into real life. She is especially passionate about empowering clients with evidence-based guidance while keeping sessions warm, collaborative, and judgment-free.
Samantha believes that progress comes from small, consistent steps rather than perfection, and she works with clients to build habits that fit seamlessly into their daily lives. Her goal is to help people feel confident in their choices, understand their bodies, and make meaningful progress toward their health goals, all without giving up the joy, flexibility, and balance that make life enjoyable.
Samantha earned her Bachelor of Science in Communications and Rhetorical Studies from Syracuse University, along with a minor in Psychology. She intentionally chose this academic path to build a strong foundation in communication and human behavior, skills she continues to use daily in her work as a dietitian.
She went on to earn her Master of Science in Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics from NYU Steinhardt and completed NYU’s prestigious Dietetic Internship Program. During her clinical rotations, Samantha completed 1,200 supervised practice hours across a variety of settings, including private practice, food service management, and intensive clinical training at Mount Sinai Hospital.
Samantha has worked in various outpatient settings, where she provided individualized, client-centered care to pediatric, adolescent, and adult clients. She has experience supporting individuals across the lifespan with weight management, eating disorders/disordered eating, and improving their relationship with food through sustainable behavior change. Through these experiences, she developed a strong clinical foundation and a practical, compassionate approach that makes nutrition both achievable and meaningful.
