Hi there, I'm so glad you made your way here in your search for a therapist. 

Shana Averbach in her inner sunset therapy office where she provides counseling for women, pregnant and new moms
I imagine that you're seeking to end the exhausting battle with feelings of anxiety ​or sadness and want to 
find tools to work with them instead. 

You want to stop taking orders from perfectionism, and 
turn down the volume on that critical voice ​in your mind. 
​
You're likely considered "high functioning" and independent, so appearances mask the fact that
you're hurting inside.

 You want to authentically show up for yourself and your family - the one you have now and the one you want in your future -
and something is telling you 
the time is now.

​You just. want. to feel. better.


​Well, feeling better is about connecting - whether to your inner strengths, a truer, more balanced version of your story, and/or your support network. 

​I can help you do that. 


​I focus on Women's Mental Health, with a special interest in supporting women through pregnancy and into new parenthood as a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional. 

I'm here to support you, not only as an experienced therapist, but as a person who believes all people can flourish as their best selves under caring, compassionate conditions. Our work will focus on your unique needs and goals, and my approach is warm, interactive, and strength-based at its core* 

If you are seeking support from a competent counselor, want useful tips about mental and emotional health issues, need local holistic health resources, and/or are interested in accessing information for someone you care about, you have come to the right place.

Take a look around and let me know how I can be of support to YOU.

*This means that even if you think you are broken or flawed, I respectfully disagree. I see you as a capable person with natural strengths who is experiencing something difficult and reacting the way you know how...for now).
