Warm, dedicated, and passionate about helping children, teens, and young adults thrive, Mélanie provides occupational therapy services to clients ages 3 to 25. She supports individuals with concerns related to ADHD, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), sensory processing difficulties, emotional regulation, motor development, executive functioning, school participation, and daily living skills.
Mélanie works closely with children to strengthen the motor, sensory, emotional, and social skills needed for everyday participation, while helping teens and young adults manage functional challenges and build greater independence at home, at school, and in the community. She also provides parent coaching and guidance, helping families better understand their child’s needs and develop practical strategies that can be used in daily routines.
Her approach integrates play-based occupational therapy, sensory integration principles, parent coaching, and collaboration with schools and interdisciplinary healthcare teams. With experience in both hospital and private pediatric settings, Mélanie provides compassionate, evidence-informed care tailored to each client’s developmental stage, strengths, and goals. Her focus is on helping young people and their families build confidence, resilience, and sustainable strategies for meaningful participation in everyday life.
Mélanie provides occupational therapy services to children, adolescents, and young adults ages 3 to 25, in both French and English. Services can also be provided at your child’s school, when appropriate.
