About Me

I am passionate about supporting youth and special groups with their mental health. My approach deeply explores problems, then focuses on practical solutions. We can work together, understanding your unique challenges and finding clear ways forward. This combination helps young people and specific communities build resilience. It offers a supportive space to develop effective strategies and move towards your goals.

Approach

Conversations start with focused listening and a practical plan that breaks issues into small, manageable steps so progress feels clear and doable. Sessions in Nyahururu or online, in English or Kiswahili, move at a steady pace—sometimes individual, sometimes bringing family or community voices—so changes stick beyond the room. I use brief assessments and hands-on tasks between meetings to track what's working and adjust as we go, keeping things straightforward and measurable. This approach tends to suit young people and groups seeking concrete, steady progress.
