Hello, I’m Adena, a Resident in Counseling with seven years of experience providing compassionate mental health support to adolescents, teens, and adults from diverse backgrounds. I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive space where individuals and families feel heard, understood, and empowered on their journey toward healing and growth.
My therapeutic approach is person-centered and tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals. I incorporate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing, to help clients better understand themselves, build on their strengths, and develop practical tools for navigating life’s challenges.
With more than 11 years of experience working with adolescents and teens experiencing behavioral challenges, parent-child conflict, anxiety, depression, grief, and other life stressors, I understand that seeking support can sometimes feel overwhelming. My goal is to meet each client where they are and provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where they can feel comfortable being themselves.
Together, we can work toward developing healthy coping strategies, improving relationships, building confidence, and creating meaningful, lasting change. I believe that every person has unique strengths and the ability to grow, heal, and thrive when given the right support. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey toward greater wellness and resilience.
