About Me
I am a licensed psychologist based in Westlands, Central Kenya. I provide counseling, family therapy, consultation and advocacy for abuse, grief, mood and conduct issues. I conduct diagnostic assessments for children and help families manage behaviour and mood challenges.
Approach
Grounded in faith and careful training, I guide sessions with clear, measured steps that help clients move from crisis to manageable next actions. In Westlands and online I work in English and Kiswahili, keeping sessions practical and paced to your comfort so children, parents and adults feel safe to share. I blend gentle assessment, focused goal-setting and home tasks—short reflections or behaviour prompts—so progress is visible between meetings. This approach often suits those seeking steady, faith-aligned support through grief, trauma or family challenges.
Services
I am a highly skilled, Faithful, Passionate and God-fearing Counseling Psychologist professional with demonstrated success in providing exceptional care and implementing effective treatment plans for patients with varying psychological disorders. I am a compassionate counselor with expertise in effective communication, building client relationships and maintaining strict confidentiality. I have a demonstrated track record of success working with diverse refugee populations in church, one-on-one and group settings. Effective motivator, communicator and an advocate with inherent ability to manage many types of personalities, defuse stressful situations, proactively resolve issues and achieve challenging goals. I have exemplary leadership skills as proven by successful staff development, great children interactions and group facilitation. Multilingual with fluency in English, Swahili and Kikuyu.
