About Me

I hold a master's degree in clinical psychology and am licensed by the Counsellors and Psychologists Board. Through tailored personalized treatment plans, I support you in achieving your therapeutic goals. You can reach out to me for a free consultation.

Approach

A compassionate, practical stance shapes how I work, creating a safe space to explore difficult feelings and decisions. Sessions in Nairobi or online, conducted in English, are paced to your needs with focused conversation, brief experiential moments, and practical steps to try between meetings. Together we track patterns, clarify what matters to you, and build small, sustainable changes that ease anxiety, relationship strain, or life transitions. This collaborative, down-to-earth way of working suits adults seeking straightforward, values-driven support.
