About

I have been practicing optometry since 1999, after earning my Doctor of Optometry degree from the Université de Montréal. Providing care for my patients and ensuring they can function in everyday life while maintaining healthy eyes has always been fulfilling.
In 2014, one of my patients with an eye turn brought me an article on vision training. It showed that non-surgical solutions were available and that age was not a barrier. This discovery led me to pursue Vision Therapy. The timing was perfect, as my younger daughter was also having trouble with reading. This started a lifelong learning journey! Since then, I’ve completed over 400 hours of courses and continue expanding my knowledge through various educational resources.
In 2021, I left primary care optometry to focus exclusively on Vision Therapy. There is a tremendous need for this service, and I find great motivation in helping people significantly improve their lives. My team and I work together to foster a joyful environment where patients develop essential visual skills that translate into life strategies.
In my spare time, I enjoy reading, walking my dog, and spending quality time with my husband and two daughters.
