If you are reading this, you are likely contemplating changing some areas of your life that aren't working effectively. Therapy is a journey of personal reflection, healing, and growth in a safe and confidential environment. My approach to therapy is warm, active, and inquisitive. I will empathically support, guide, and gently challenge you in ways that are conducive to the goals we set together. I use Psychodynamic and Cognitive-Behavioral frameworks to help bring your unconscious thoughts and actions to conscious awareness. Through this process, you will identify the patterns that no longer serve your goals, and build new tools.
While I work with a full range of presenting concerns and client backgrounds, my specialty areas include LGBTQIA + clients, couples/relationship therapy, grief/loss, infertility/pregnancy, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
I would love to talk with you about how we might work together. Please feel free to reach out for a free 15-minute Zoom consultation!

I had the honor of working with Dr. Shields at SJSU Student Health in 2019-2021 and was delighted to learn that she is expanding her private practice. She is warm and knowledgable on several kinds of issues: LGBTQIA+, couples, infertility/IVF, adoption.
