About Me

As a Registered KCPA Associate Counselor, this compassionate Counseling psychologist helps individuals, couples, and groups navigate personal difficulties. They are dedicated to supporting clients in achieving meaningful, positive changes. With a diligent and disciplined approach, they guide people to explore challenges and find new ways forward. Clients can expect a grounded space to feel truly heard. They will work towards their goals with dedicated support.

Approach

Guided by disciplined curiosity and a clear commitment to change, I help map difficulties into manageable steps and realistic goals. Sessions in Nairobi or online — in English, Kiswahili, French or Spanish — are paced to suit adolescents, adults, communities and organisations, offering a steady, focused rhythm. Assessment shapes a tailored plan using mindful cognitive practices alongside reflective analysis, with practical tools to use between meetings so progress carries into daily life. Those facing anxiety, grief, mood shifts or trauma often find this structured, attentive approach reassuring.
