About Me

With over a decade of experience in social work, counselling, and community advocacy, Mahe specializes in supporting diverse, multi-barrier populations. She holds a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Waterloo and a PhD from the University of Surrey, UK. Mahe is the recipient of the Town and Gown Award for Community Engagement and the Norma Brown Award for Professionally Trained Women in Social Work. She is an active member of the BC Association of Social Workers.

Mahe offers counselling services to children, youth, adults, couples, and families, addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism, OCD, and pain management. She integrates culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, and evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Family Systems Therapy (FST), employing solution-focused, client-centred practices tailored to individual needs.

​

Her counselling style incorporates a holistic, bio-psychosocial-spiritual approach that promotes resilience and empowerment. Mahe is committed to lifelong learning, professional ethics, and creating a safe, respectful environment where clients can heal and thrive.

​

Counselling availability: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, both in-person and online.

Mahe also collaborates closely with parents to support challenges that affect parenting and children’s behaviors. Her services can be booked while your child attends speech-language pathology (SLP) sessions, maximizing time and resources for a one-stop-shop experience.
