About Me

As a psychologist with an MA, I offer a deeply informed and supportive space. My extensive experience in disability and gender mainstreaming means I understand your unique challenges. I provide guidance, Counseling, and practical educational support. We can work together to clarify your path forward. This approach supports clients to build resilience. It's ideal for those navigating life with disabilities or exploring gender identity.

Approach

Conversations unfold with practical curiosity, centering your goals while attending to identity, learning needs and accessibility. In Nairobi and online, in English or Kiswahili, sessions keep a steady, predictable pace so children, adolescents and families feel safe to explore and make changes. Work tends to blend focused observation, collaborative problem‑solving and clear educational planning, with simple strategies to try between meetings and concise feedback for schools or carers when needed. This way suits families facing autism, physical or intellectual differences and those exploring gender questions.
