Hello, and congratulations on taking a big first step on the path to becoming a happier, healthier you.
I help people along their paths with a primary focus, not on your diagnosis, but on the symptoms that are causing difficulty in your daily functioning. In order to do that, we'll utilize interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and a variety of other treatment modalities depending on your individual needs.
I hold a license in Clinical Psychology from the State of California. I received my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Widener University in Pennsylvania in 2008. I have worked in a variety of treatment settings, which has afforded me the opportunity to work with clients with a wide range of concerns. Some of these concerns include motivation, depression, anxiety, communication issues, anger management, relationship issues (straight or LGBTQIA+, monogamous or polyamorous), and transgender issues.
My therapeutic style is warm and inviting. I am accepting of all individuals regardless of race, religion, gender identity, or sexual orientation. We will work together to develop an individualized treatment plan designed to help move you from where you are on your life path to where you'd like to be. My goal is for each of my clients to feel accepted, seen, heard, and respected throughout our therapeutic relationship.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She provides unbiased and safe place to navigate your emotions. She’s highly responsive and I’m very happy to have matched with her.
From the very first session, Dr.Fields made it clear we would work through all my concerns. She is a very dedicated and knowledgeable person.
Dr Fields had been excellent in ever way though my experiences with her. Very attentive to ensuring I am ok and helped me learn the tools to get through the hard parts of my life. I highly recommend her.
dr. Fields is truly amazing. She is down to earth and highly intelligent And empathetic. That is a really essential and magical combination for a therapist. I feel at ease with her I feel I can speak about anything and I feel she truly sees me for who I am and so is able to to tailor our seasiont to my specific personality and needs. she is lovely and professional, and I have trusted her with so much of my life, which I think is a testament to her ability and skill.
She is very supportive in any situation I might be having a hard time dealing with or understanding.
She is very supportive and very helpful. She listens and offers worksheets and exercises to help.
I like that Dr. Fields is results oriented. I also like that she's not trying to pander to my ego to make sure that I feel better about my situation. Probably one of the most authentic people to whom I've spoken and in light of this, I feel confident in moving forward against my own self-doubt and lack of confidence. I would highly recommend Dr. Fields for everyone but especially if you're in the field of law.
Professional. Dr. Fields is outstanding in her field and is a person I felt instantly connected with. It was never awkward and I felt right at home with her. She addressed everything I said was going on in my life and has provided professional care on how I can grow to be a better person. She’s amazing and I’d recommend her to anyone!
Dr. Fields has been amazing, supportive, and provides the tools to understand my issues and offers advice on how to think about situations differntly.
I really trust Dr. Fields, she is the best therapist I’ve had! I will keep using BetterHelp just because of her!!
Dr. Fields has been incredibly helpful in helping me come to terms with problems I've been having by providing helpful insights and tools to help identify what I am going though in the moment. I'd highly suggest them to anyone.
Dr. Fields has been exactly what I need when I needed it and pulled away when I needed to be challenged. I appreciate the relationship and experience of this clinician more than many others I’ve had in the past.
Dr. Fields is an amazing therapist. I wish I had found her sooner. She makes me feel heard, seen, and gives me so much support and encouragement. She cares about her patients and wants the best for them. I really appreciate her so much.
Great listener, offers great advice and timely with responses
Dr. Fields has been very helpful with reminding me to focus on the positives. She has also been great at providing the appropriate resources to help work through my difficult thought processes. When I am stuck on those "what if" anxious thoughts, she has helped me work through the best case and worst case scenarios so that we can both formulate a realistic solution. I would recommend her as a therapist to individuals who suffer from anxiety and need lots of positive reminders of their individual progress.
Dr. Fields has blown me away with her ability to quickly understand and support me. She is so open-minded and I feel welcome to share my true feelings and experiences. I’ve already felt so much better and it’s only been a few weeks. Very grateful for Dr. Fields and BetterHelp!
She is very compassionate and easy to talk with.
