“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
~ Anais Nin

About Adena

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and depth-centered therapist with over 20 years of experience supporting clients with their mental health, personal growth, and life transitions. My work is a blend of clinical expertise and intuitive wisdom, creating a compassionate space where women can heal, reclaim their inner strength, and rediscover their authentic selves.

I believe that every woman is on a healing journey, and sometimes we all need support, safety, and understanding to move through life’s challenges—whether that’s anxiety, depression, grief, health issues, or significant life changes.

My lifelong passion is to honor, empower, and support women.

My approach is client-centered and integrates the latest breakthroughs in mental health with a blending of therapeutic modalities including inner selves, CBT, somatic practices, and right-brain techniques. I also bring a holistic perspective, considering the cultural and societal factors that impact women’s experiences. I have developed an approach I call soul-focused where I help clients access their inner guidance.

I create a safe, compassionate, and transformative space where women can heal, reconnect with their inner strength, and step into their authentic selves. I will share useful practices that can be integrated into daily life. My intention is to foster an environment where individuals can explore their challenges, make empowered decisions, and take meaningful steps toward their goals.

I’m a certified facilitator of SoulCollage® and Divine Ink®, and I love guiding women through creative, soul-nourishing processes that foster deep personal restoration. I’ve led women’s retreats around the world, offering a supportive space for inner exploration and transformation.In my free time, I love spending time in nature, writing, creating art, tending my flower garden, and traveling.

My Background

While earning a Master’s in Social Work at the University of Denver I worked for the International Institute of Health and Wellness, facilitating with their Stress -Free Lifestyle program. I volunteered for Colorado Therapeutic Riding and worked as a hospice medical social worker in Denver. After moving to Oregon, I worked as a medical social worker for Providence Hospital, and then as a full-time clinician at Jackson County Mental Health for 3 years. In 2002, I began my private practice as an LCSW at Child & Family Psychiatric Center where I worked until 2014 when I moved to my current practice location.
