“Hello and welcome! Are you struggling with complex emotions, overwhelming thoughts, or your overall mental well-being? I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can freely explore your concerns. Leave me a message and I'll get back to you.”

About Me

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist (MA) based in Nairobi, Kenya, providing psychotherapy both virtually and in-person. I specialise in trauma-informed work rooted in evidence-based interventions, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) and EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy). I work with individuals struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns, alongside addressing dysfunctional behavioural patterns and personal development. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each client’s unique needs, with an emphasis on confidentiality, safety, and meaningful change.

Approach

My approach is trauma-informed, integrative and collaborative. I strive to create a safe, confidential, and respectful space where you feel heard, understood, and supported at your own pace. I recognise how personal, family, work, and cultural experiences shape psychological wellbeing, and I work sensitively within your unique context. Using evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, CBT, and Emotionally Focused Therapy, I support clients in processing difficult experiences, deepening emotional awareness, and building resilience in ways that feel manageable, meaningful, and growth-oriented. If you’re curious about whether we might be a good fit, you’re welcome to book a free consultation below for a brief, no-obligation conversation.
