Are you navigating neurodivergence, anxiety, or life transitions as a woman? I specialize in late-diagnosed ADHD and autism. Being late diagnosed neurodivergent myself, I deeply understand the complexities of juggling parenting, family, career, and social aspects of life. I'm here to help you work through these challenges, empowering you towards growth and healing. I also work with children ages 5-12 in the areas of ADHD, emotional regulation, anxiety, and going between split households. I am an adoption competent therapist and work with adoptees and adoptive parents.

As a seasoned therapist with over 13 years of clinical mental health experience, I specialize in supporting individuals who have faced traumas and many other stressors life may bring. My passion lies in helping clients overcome life's challenges using evidence-based interventions like TF-CBT, CBT, DBT, and attachment-based tools. In my practice, I work closely with children and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. Witnessing my clients grow and confidently navigating their healing journeys brings me immense joy.

Whether you are struggling with an eating disorder/ disordered eating and body image concerns, anxiety and stress, relationships, trauma, or life transitions, know that you don’t have to go at it alone! Navigating the high school, college, and early adulthood years can feel incredibly overwhelming, but that doesn’t mean they can’t also be exciting! As a therapist, I empower girls, women, and equestrians to identify and work towards fulfillment in their lives. I want to support you in learning how to be compassionate with yourself, while also challenging beliefs that no longer serve you.

Have you been holding onto a burden since you were a child or a young adult? Are you ready to grow into the person you want to be and utilize the skills needed to cope with life’s difficulties? Do you want a counselor to see you for who you really are and give you a safe space to work through any concerns you bring to counseling? As a genderfluid counselor, I can help you onto the path to true healing whether that be from PTSD, C-PTSD, and trauma-related concerns, dissociation, LGBTQIA+ issues, anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, etc.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or ADHD? Anxiety is a thief of joy and experience. I help clients process trauma and anxious thoughts to move into a more fulfilling life. I enjoy helping clients navigate neurodivergence, trauma, life transitions, grief, relationships, and men's issues.

I work with individuals dealing with life transitions, medical related issues, mood and affective disorders, and marriage, parenting or family issues. I use a narrative and solution focused approach to collaboratively work with clients to identify successful solutions to problems and how these strengths can be implemented in future situations. I utilize empirically supported techniques that focus on the ways in which individuals think about and respond to events. These interventions allow clients to restructure their thinking, process events and modify behaviors in more adaptive ways.

Anxiety, stress, and sadness are a normal part of life, but when these feelings start to take over and inhabit multiple area's of life in a profoundly negative way, something needs to change. You're tired of people telling you it will get better, but with no real support of how. You're afraid of expressing these thoughts to your friends or family because of them sticking a label or diagnosis on you, but you really want to talk to someone about it. You're worried it's something you've done and are not sure how to grow or change.

My work is a calling and a purpose that focuses on helping individuals of all ages know that they are worthy of being loved and valued, live fulfilling lives, and heal from pain and hurt. Therapy is a place where your family can find support and encouragement to help your child or family develop optimally. Treatment is chosen based on your child's unique set of needs and is based on effective research based interventions.

Many of our clients look good on the outside, yet feel mildly miserable on the inside. Pain is motivating and when clients are hurting, they call to schedule an appointment. It takes more than intellect to change behavior. Most of our clients are intelligent and know what they "should" do, yet struggle to take action. Our team works with people (or partners) who struggle with substances and behavioral medicators such as alcohol, porn, overeating and codependency. We treat individuals, couples and families that need help with addiction, mental illness, infidelity or simply feeling stuck. It is a relief to not have to do it alone.

Are you looking to strengthen and improve your relationships? I believe that the quality of our relationships directly impacts the quality of our lives. My goal as a therapist is to help my clients increase their awareness of themselves and their relationships while providing skills to help them improve areas of their life. Whether you are looking to learn coping skills, work on healthy communication, identify negative behavior patterns within yourself or a relationship, or just need a safe place and someone to talk to, I work with you to help you achieve your goals.

It’s okay to ask for what you need. This is something I need to remind myself of on a daily basis. So many of us focus intently on making sure everyone else is taken care of and we completely abandon ourselves and ignore our own needs. This leaves us feeling exhausted, depleted, and quite frankly, resentful because we think to ourselves “why isn’t anyone taking care of me?” I teach my clients what a healthy relationship looks like because if this wasn’t modeled to you at some point throughout your life, no one can expect you to know what it means.

Are you noticing that you're hitting a wall in your life, and realizing something needs to change? Are you feeling driven to live without the weight of the pressures of the world on your shoulders? Oftentimes we feel burdened by the routine of day-to-day, overcome by our emotions, have trauma, grief, or use substances to cope.

Are you feeling stuck repeating the same cycle over and over again? Are your usual ways of handling stress not working anymore? Are you struggling in your relationship with your partner, family, or friends? Maybe you know something needs to change but you are feeling powerless to make that change. At some point we all encounter difficulties in our life and feel unsure of our next steps. This is common but can feel lonely and isolating.

At Walgren Counseling, PLLC we have 20 therapists. Although each has a unique set of training & experience, our approach to working with you is similar. We all have a holistic, client-centered, and tailored approach. Rather than identifying an ideal client, we believe in developing a relationship with you that will be most helpful to you. Our therapists strive to bring out each person's ability to find balance and healing from within. Our entire office, from office staff to clinician, is committed to making you feel well-cared for.

You feel like you should be happy and fulfilled with the life you've built. You only wish you were as happy on the inside as you look on the outside. Many of my clients are seen as "having it together," however, inside they've grown numb, tired, restless, and empty. They feel stuck in behavior and thought patterns that they can't seem to change. Their relationships have become unsatisfying. The demands of life feel increasingly heavy. They long for something or someone to help them move in a new direction.

Accepting New Clients! As a parent or guardian, your desire is for your child to flourish, be successful, and to find happiness, especially when faced with challenging emotions, major life transitions, or school strugges. If you've observed heightened emotional distress, disruptive behaviors, school challenges, social challenges, or your child feeling isolated, you don't have to face these issues by yourself. I can help you and your child. Children (6 to 10), preteen, and teens are facing so many difficult stressful situations and sometimes feel they don't feel they have a trustworthy place to turn.
