Happy Independence Day weekend!

Fireworks are fun for many, but for others, they can be overwhelming.

Veterans, trauma survivors, children, people with PTSD or anxiety, those with sensory sensitivities, and even our pets may experience fear, panic, or distress when fireworks begin.

If that's you, you're not overreacting. Your nervous system is responding the best way it knows how.

We created this graphic with grounding and coping skills to help you navigate fireworks this weekend with a little more ease.

Save it for later and share it with someone who may need it. ❤️💙

Trying to figure out relationships, career pressure, burnout, boundaries, identity, and how everyone else somehow seems to have their life together? You’re not the only one.

“Becoming Her” is a 6-week therapy group for women in their mid-to-late 20s and 30s navigating the messy, confusing, emotionally exhausting stage of adulthood that nobody really prepares you for.

Together we’ll explore:
1. Why Is Everyone Else Thriving?
Comparison, timelines, and feeling behind
2. Who Am I Off the Clock?
People-pleasing, perfectionism, and identity outside work
3. Why Are Relationships So Draining?
Emotional labor, attachment, and relationship overwhelm
4. Why Can’t I Just Say It?
Boundaries, communication, and asking for what you need
5. Why Do I Feel Bad Relaxing?
Burnout, productivity guilt, and learning to rest
6. What If I Trusted Myself?
Self-trust, uncertainty, and building a life that fits you

This group combines therapy, practical coping skills, honest conversations, and connection with others! Participants would ideally commit to at least 4 of the 6 sessions.

In person in Bettendorf, IA. Virtual options available!
