Licensed Psychologist

“A Licensed, Compassionate and Experienced Counseling Psychologist, dedicated to your well being”

About Me

I am a Licensed Counseling Psychologist in Taita Taveta, Coast, Kenya. I assess and treat addiction, conduct problems, PTSD, family conflicts, and relationship issues. I provide psychological and diagnostic assessments, prevention programs, marriage and family therapy, and psychoeducation.

Approach

Committed to your wellbeing, my work moves at a steady, practical pace that balances safety with clear steps toward change. I use focused assessments to clarify patterns, set manageable goals, and bring families or partners into planning when it helps. Sessions mix supportive listening, skill-building, and short between-session tasks so progress carries into daily life. People facing addiction, trauma, or relationship strain often find this structured, collaborative approach grounding and effective.
