Licensed Psychologist

“Are you ready to take the first step towards positive change? As a licensed psychologist, I am here to help uncover your unique needs and empower you to make lasting progress.

About Me

I am a Licensed Psychologist based on Ngong Road in Nairobi County, Kenya. I offer Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and climate grief support. I provide consultations and corporate workshops for individuals and teams.

Approach

When we meet in Nairobi or online, in English or Kiswahili, sessions move at a steady, practical pace that balances listening with gentle experimentation. I guide short, values-focused exercises and reflective prompts, using simple assessments to shape clear, achievable steps you can try between meetings. For grief tied to climate or workplace strain, I help you name feelings, practice acceptance, and test new responses in real settings while keeping expectations realistic. This way of working suits people seeking concrete tools alongside compassionate, confidential support.
