Who are we?
Word from the founder
The CSPE began with a dream to support children in a setting that places their needs at the heart of our priorities, while collaborating with the key people in their lives.
Now a mother to two wonderful children, Jeremy and Kayla-Rose, I understand more than ever the importance of having access to services, tools, guidance, and support when we need it most.
I began offering psychoeducational services in private practice after completing an internship in child psychiatry at Sainte-Justine Hospital in Montreal. One initial consultation led to another, and through word of mouth, it evolved in a way that, by the time I graduated, it was clear to me that this was the path I wanted to follow.
I am a passionate, gentle, and empathetic person. With my wonderful team, my goal is to support children in their development. We work closely with parents, educators, teachers, practitioners, and anyone else who cares deeply about the social and emotional development of children. Together, we share a common mission: to promote the well-being of every child.
Thank you for your trust!

I am a person who demonstrates compassion and kindness. I have always loved working with children since I truly believe that we learn as much as we can give them. Thanks to my work experiences, I have an ease in communicating and creating a bond of trust with them.
My mission is to adapt my interventions to meet the specific needs and interests of each person. I want to create a relationship of trust with parents based on communication and collaboration in order to combine our strengths to allow the child to fully flourish.

I am passionate about supporting children in their development, particularly with regard to their emotional regulation and their ability to overcome everyday challenges. With several enriching experiences with children in various contexts, I was able to refine my ability to adapt to their specific needs and promote their development.
My goal is to offer interventions that respect the pace and interests of each child while working closely with parents. Together, we can offer the child the support needed to encourage their well-being and help them grow in confidence, while having fun!

Passionate about working with children, I find it essential to use my knowledge, creativity, and active listening skills to support both parents and the child’s environment, while helping the child regain a sense of balance.
By building a relationship based on trust, we can work together to promote the child’s well-being and strengthen the confidence in the significant adults around them.
Adaptation, understanding needs and calmness—these are the guiding concepts I rely on every day.
