About Me

As an experienced Counseling psychologist, I am passionate about supporting your mental health and wellbeing. I am dedicated to creating a culturally sensitive space, welcoming individuals from all backgrounds. We can explore your unique experiences together, finding practical ways to navigate challenges and foster resilience. Clients seeking a respectful and understanding environment, where their diversities are valued, will find a strong match for their journey.

Approach

My sessions are culturally aware and paced to your concerns, mixing gentle curiosity with clear structure to help you feel steady while we work. In Kisumu or online, in English or Kiswahili, I use focused assessment, short between-session practices and trauma-informed reflection so progress is visible and manageable. Sessions balance practical skill-building with space to process difficult experiences, often bringing partners or family into specific meetings when helpful. People seeking respectful, down-to-earth support through life change and recovery tend to find this approach helpful.
