Her main research interests relate to child sexual abuse and adolescent dating violence. Her research projects aim to identify adaptative factors among children and adolescents who recently disclosed a sexual abuse, and to explore the diversity of profiles among victims.

In collaboration with different partners in practice settings, she has also conducted several studies to assess the efficacy of various preventive and therapeutic interventions with children and adolescents.
