About Me

I am a licensed psychologist based in Donholm, Nairobi County, Kenya. I work with children, adolescents, and adults who face addiction and mood disorders. I offer clinical assessment, diagnostic evaluation, relationship counseling, and psychoeducation in a confidential, practical setting.

Approach

Fostering psychological health guides how I structure sessions—focused, practical, and paced to your needs. I work with you in Nairobi or online, in English or Kiswahili, maintaining a discreet, solution-oriented space where safety and clarity come first. Sessions combine thoughtful assessment, collaborative goal-setting, skill rehearsal and psychoeducation, with brief between-session tasks that consolidate progress. Those navigating addiction, mood challenges or strained relationships tend to find this steady, skills-based way of working supportive and empowering.
