Who are we?
Word from the founder
The CSPE began with a dream of helping children in a context that allows us to put the child's needs at the center of our concerns while mobilizing the significant players in the child's life. Now a mother of 2 wonderful children, Jeremy and Kayla-Rose, I understand even more the importance of having access to services, tools, advice and support when we need it!
I began psychoeducation services, in private practice, following my internships in child psychiatry at Sainte-Justine hospital in Montreal. A first follow-up then led to a second and then, through word of mouth, everything evolved in such a way that when I left university, it was obvious to me that I wanted to continue in this direction.
I am a passionate, ambitious, gentle and empathetic person. My desire is to be able, with my wonderful team, to help as many families as possible. We work in close collaboration with parents, educators, teachers, caregivers and any other person who has the well-being of children at heart. We all work towards a common goal, which is to help each child’s potential flourish!
Looking forward to meeting you!
Thank you for your trust!

As a master's intern in psychoeducation, 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.
