Dr. Shields’ therapeutic approach combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with practical, values-centered strategies that resonate with the unique pressures her clients face.

In addition to her clinical expertise, Dr. Shields has a strong foundation in ethics, giving her a unique perspective on the complex moral and professional dilemmas that healthcare providers encounter. She has witnessed firsthand the emotional toll that comes with the responsibility of patient care, especially within systems that often prioritize efficiency over individual well-being. Her work is deeply informed by her commitment to helping others find purpose and resilience, not by pushing through burnout, but by learning to navigate it in a way that honors both their professional values and personal needs.
