Sometimes children, teens, and young adults need a space that feels different from school, sports, friendships, or home.

A space where they can slow down.
A space where they can be heard.
A space where they don’t have to have all the answers.

At Larkspur, I support young people as they learn to understand their emotions, navigate challenges, build confidence, and discover the strengths they already carry within them.

Together, we might work on:

• Anxiety and worries
• Big emotions and emotional regulation
• Self-esteem and confidence
• Friendships and social challenges
• School stress and transitions
• Grief, loss, and life changes
• Perfectionism and self-criticism
• ADHD, executive functioning, and emotional awareness
• Building resilience and coping skills

My goal isn’t to change who young people are.

It’s to help them better understand themselves, feel supported in their experiences, and develop the tools they need to move through life with greater confidence, courage, and self-compassion.

Every child, teen, and young adult deserves a place where they feel safe, seen, and supported.

✨ Guided by compassion. Grounded in connection.

Somewhere between play, connection, and the highest tides in the world… I have a little office waiting for the right Pediatric OT.

As Larkspur Counselling Therapy enters year five, I’m hoping to connect with a Pediatric Occupational Therapist who values intentional work with children and families, believes in the power of play, and wants to practice within a warm, collaborative environment.

Located in beautiful Port Williams, where families often enjoy time by the water before or after appointments. 🤍

If this feels aligned with the kind of work and space you’ve been searching for, I would love to connect.

As a child and youth therapist, I spend a lot of time thoughtfully choosing playful, creative, and sensory-supportive tools that help children feel safe, connected, and regulated in therapy. 🤍

Therapy for children doesn’t always happen sitting face-to-face talking. Sometimes it looks like stickers, clay, candy, markers, games, and building toys. 🌿

A few favourites around the office lately:

✨ Stickers
A tiny moment of joy, connection, predictability, and accomplishment. Honestly… stickers are basically guaranteed here for all ages 😂

🌈 Smelly markers
Creative expression + sensory input through scent can help children feel grounded, focused, and calm.

🍬 Candy & sour treats
Taste can support regulation too! Crunchy, chewy, or sour snacks can help bring children back into their bodies during stress or overwhelm.

👐 Clay & playdough
Squishing, rolling, and creating helps release tension, support grounding, and make emotional expression feel safer.

🌸 Flower snaps/building toys
Building supports focus, problem solving, repetitive calming movement, and side-by-side connection without pressure to “perform” socially.

🎲 Play-based tools & games
Play helps lower defenses while building frustration tolerance, emotional awareness, flexibility, and confidence.

Creating a therapy space that feels warm, safe, and engaging takes intention — and I’m grateful to offer a space where children can regulate, connect, create, and simply be themselves. 🤍

Meet Larkspurs new affirmation puncher from Cherry Pick 💛

This playful tool gives children a safe and active way to move big energy through their bodies while also being surrounded by supportive messages like:

✨ “I am brave”
✨ “I am safe”
✨ “I am creative”
✨ “I am enough”

At Larkspur, I know children often regulate through movement before words. Sometimes big feelings need punching, pushing, jumping, laughing, wobbling, and play before they can be talked about.

This little addition brings together:
🌿 movement
🌿 emotional expression
🌿 body awareness
🌿 confidence building
🌿 playful regulation

…and honestly? It’s gonna be a hit 💫

On a winter walk with my family, we stumbled upon this little heart. I love how naturally formed, quiet and perfectly imperfect it is. It felt like such a gentle reminder of the meaning behind Larkspur: to meet one another with an open heart.

After a lovely pause, I’ll be back in the office tomorrow and will be responding to emails then. I’m feeling deeply grateful for the work I get to do, for the families who place their trust in my care and for the honour of waking alongside you, your child or youths wellness journey. Truly, this work fills my cup.

✨A small schedule note:
A last minute 3:00 appointment has opened up for tomorrow for anyone hoping to ease back into the new year with some support. After this, 3:00 appointments are fully booked until February.

Wishing you a gentle, healthy and safe 2026-rooted in care, connection and open hearts 🤍✨

As winter settles in and the natural world slows, I’ll be taking time away from the office beginning today through January 6th to rest, restore, and be present with my family.

This season invites us to listen closely—to quieter cues, shorter days, and the gentle reminder from Mother Nature that rest is not something we earn, but something we need. During this time, I’ll be fully offline and will not be responding to emails or scheduling requests. I’ll reconnect and respond once I return in January.

Looking ahead, I won’t be taking on new clients in the new year. Families who are hoping for support for their child or youth or if you as a young adult are in need, you are warmly invited to join the waitlist for February and I’ll be in touch as availability opens.

Thank you, always, for your trust, patience, and for allowing me the space to honour these seasonal rhythms as I care for my own well-being—so I can continue showing up grounded and present in the work I do.

Wishing you and your loved ones a safe, healthy, and peaceful holiday season.
May winter bring moments of rest, warmth, and gentle connection. 🤍❄️

As we get closer to the holiday season, here’s a little update from my cozy corner of the Valley!

✨ My January + February schedule is now open for current clients.
If you like getting organized for the new year, feel free to book ahead and secure the times that work best for you.

✨ Hoping to begin services in 2026?
You’re invited to join my waitlist through the booking app, or reach out to me directly with any questions.

✨ December is officially full, but if you’re hoping to connect before the holidays, you can add your name to the cancellation list—little openings do pop up.

Looking forward to supporting children, teens, young adults and families as we step into a fresh new year. ❄️💛

✨The December calendar is live!

It took a little longer this time-turns out juggling family, coziness and calendars is an art form.

If you’re like me and not quite ready to face December yet…consider this your gentle nudge that it’s on its way (with or without our permission 😉)

I’ll be wrapping up sessions for 2025 on December 18th, taking a pause to sink into the holiday season with loved ones 🎄

I’ll be back in my therapy space Monday January 5th, 2026, ready to begin another year of open-hearted work.

Here’s to rest, reflection and all the cozy things in-between 🩵
