Larkspur Wellness LLC

Sometimes even when the sun is shining outside we aren’t feeling our best inside. It’s okay to not be okay. Help is just a phone call/text or email away. I am recently ASIST trained. This is a training that gives me even more knowledge and expertise in helping individuals who are in crisis and need support. I received additional skills that allow me to provide even more comprehensive services to my clients.

I am always accepting new clients!!! If you’re taking the first step toward helping yourself, I will never make you wait!

Happy New Year!!!

A whopping 365 days of:
New beginnings
New endings
New goals
New dreams
New growth
New progress
New setbacks
New comebacks

So much to look forward to.

If one of your goals for the year ahead is to address your emotional and mental wellness, I am here for you. It would be my utmost privilege to work with you on helping you determine your goals and develop a plan to reach them! So what are you waiting for?!

Already a client? The best compliment I could ever receive is in the form of a referral to a family member, friend, coworker, and/or acquaintance.

My goals for the year ahead are to enjoy the simple moments with my family, continue to maintain a balance, and to grow Larkspur Wellness LLC by reaching more people and doing what I love the most-helping others💜

Wishing a very Merry Christmas to my past, current, and future clients. I’m feeling very blessed that I was able to turn a dream of owning my own counseling practice into a reality. None of it would be possible without the love, support and encouragement of my family and friends and of course, my amazing clients I’ve had the privilege to work with. Larkspur Wellness LLC is open over the holidays. Please call, email, or text to get scheduled for your first step to mental and emotional wellness for the new year❤️🎄

The holiday season is “supposed” to be one full of cheer and happiness…

But let’s have some real talk for a moment…
The holiday season is stressful and a bit much, there, I said it. It can be overstimulating-the lights, the noise, the cold, all of it. It can be overwhelming-financially, physically, emotionally. It can all just be too heavy.

I get it.

Throughout my life, especially adulthood, I’ve always tried to balance and juggle multiple things at once. It has only been over the past couple of years that I’ve found that what I need are quiet moments. Moments where there’s no noise, no excitement….just calm.

I love my children so unbelievably much, but tonight, after a long day, I needed to snuggle them, put them to bed, and get settled in front of the calm, quiet Christmas tree.

Find your calm.
Find what settles you.
And once you do, make sure you are embracing it and practicing it.

We’re all in this crazy, wild world together…you are never alone💜🎄

🎄❤️

Happy Thanksgiving to you! I am thankful for each and every client that I have had the pleasure and privilege to work with. Today is a day to relax and be thankful for the smallest, simplest things. ❤️

This is a lovely holiday reminder! Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday and I love seeing “big kids” out trick or treating. 🎃🎃🎃

May is Mental Health Awareness Month!!! Take care of your mental health as much (if not more) than you take care of your physical health. If you’re struggling, there is help. Reach out to a trusted friend, family member or doctor to get connected with a therapist and/or psychiatrist. You are not alone and this world needs you in it…💚💚💚

It’s a special day…International Women’s Day!!! As the sister to three strong women, the daughter to a strong mother, the aunt to strong women and most importantly, the mom to two very strong, independent, determined daughters this is a very special day to us. Empowered women empower women…don’t ever forget the importance of that statement.

Who are some of the influential women in your life? Give them a shout out in the comments!

Today’s SEL book recommendation is one of my absolute favorites! Introduced to me when I worked at a center based school and we did the Peer to Peer Link Program with a Kindergarten class at a local school. This book had a great message and helps kids to know what being kind really means and even the smallest acts of kindness can make a big impact✌🏼💜

Today’s SEL (social emotional learning) book recommendation is one of our favorites. It helps us (kids and adults, alike) understand that sometimes when we are having a hard time, we aren’t seeking advice and that someone just being there, ready to listen, is far more powerful. I must say that my daughter received this book years ago through Imagination Library and I didn’t give it much attention for a while until my daughter picked it out from her bookshelf-now it’s one of our favorites with an AMAZING message. 🐰📚

In honor of March is Reading Month….look at all the amazing benefits of reading with kids. Both of my kids love books just like me. This month I’ll be providing some of my favorite social emotional learning books for children….stay tuned!!!📖📚

Today’s piece of advice:
live your life like a toddler…

💜wear what you want (even sunglasses at nighttime)
💜be happy
💜pout but only for a moment
💜seek out hugs when you’re happy, sad and everything in between
💜laugh
💜love unconditionally
💜know who your trusted supports are
💜take a timeout
💜be 100% unapologetically and authentically you
💜dance whether there’s music on or not
💜color
💜play with playdough
💜use your imagination
💜get your snuggles in
💜eat the carbs

We’ve come very far but have so much further to go…

Heading into the New Year I am so grateful to all of my family, friends, colleagues and therapy clients for their support through my first year of individual therapy. A year ago I decided to take the first step in providing individual therapy through an online platform. From January to July I met some amazing people and then decided to take the leap to put in the hard work, dedication and determination that would be Larkspur Wellness LLC. To say I have impressed myself is a vast understatement. As a mom to two young children, a wife, a school social worker by day and wearing so many other hats and still being able to fulfill my passion of helping other achieve their mental health goals while balancing everything has taken a lot of hard work but has been so worth it.

Remember-self care is not selfish…working through your mental health, past traumas, current traumas and navigating relationships while setting healthy boundaries will be the best gift you can give to yourself in 2023💜

Reach out today!

Today I am thankful for my family and friends. I am thankful for the opportunity to take the leap to start my own counseling venture. I have the opportunity to work with some amazing individuals on their path to wellness, which is a huge honor.

What are you most thankful for this year?🧡

Remember mamas and daddy’s…it’s okay. These are your holidays, too🧡

Check out some of the benefits of counseling….probably one of the best “self care” activities you can do for yourself. And remember, self care is NOT selfish💜

Take the first step to mental health and wellness….reach out today [email protected] to find out more or schedule your first appointment! I hope to hear from you soon☺️

Today is Unity Day…a day for kindness, inclusion and acceptance….United against bullying. Be an upstander, not a bystander to bullying behavior. 🧡🧡🧡

Ever considered meditation? It’s a great way to calm anxieties and every day stressors that we may or may not realize we are carrying around with us. I have found an amazing app that I highly recommend: Insight Timer. This app is completely free. I plan to try some with my daughter too! Below is the meditation I did today. Quick and painless…give it a try.

Choosing a name for my LLC was not an easy task. Knowing that I wanted to “honor” my children through the name was the easy part. They were both born in July. Found that the July birth flower is Larkspur, which represents positivity, open heart/openness, dignity, grace and love made Larkspur a very fitting name for my LLC. When I work with my clients I want them to feel dignity, grace, love, openness and positivity.💜
