About Me

As a licensed CBT Psychologist, I help individuals, couples, and families navigate life's challenges. With over nine years' experience, I support those facing depression, anxiety, or relationship struggles. Together we explore thought patterns and behaviours using practical CBT tools. My aim is to help you build resilience and achieve lasting personal growth. I offer a supportive space to address difficulties and find healing.

Approach

Years of clinical work taught me to move between focused skill-building and gentle exploration, tailoring each session to what feels most urgent. In Nairobi or online, in English or Kiswahili, I blend short practical CBT tasks with reflective check-ins and clear homework to bridge therapy and day-to-day life. I set small, evidence-based experiments, track thoughts and behaviours between meetings, and steadily adapt strategies for panic, low mood, relationship strain or addictive urges. People who want practical tools and steady support tend to find this approach helpful.
