About Me

I help individuals and families navigate life's challenges, from student and employee matters to mental wellness. Drawing on broad experience, I support those grappling with family concerns or alcohol and drug issues. My approach includes thoughtful psychological assessment to truly understand your unique needs. We work together to find practical strategies and build lasting wellbeing. Clients discover a grounded space to explore their path forward.

Approach

Sessions shift from careful assessment into focused, practical work that helps you notice what matters and take small, manageable steps toward it. In my Thika practice and through English-language online sessions across Kiambu and beyond, we balance eye-level dialogue with brief experiments you can try between meetings, tracking what changes and what stays stuck. I lean on acceptance, values clarification and clear accountability to guide movement. This approach tends to suit students, parents and families seeking steady, achievable progress.
