Facing life’s challenges and need support? I’m a person-centered therapist who uses simple Oaklander Model tools to help you express emotions and understand your experiences. Whether for you or your child, we’ll work together to find practical strategies that fit your life. This is your journey — I’m here to walk with you.

About Me

I offer a collaborative space for children and adults navigating life's challenges. As an experienced, person-centred therapist, I use Oaklander Model tools to help you explore difficult feelings. We team up to uncover your unique story and develop practical strategies. This journey is truly yours, aimed at boosting your mental well-being and finding effective ways forward.

Approach

I move through sessions at your pace, using creative activities, clear emotional language and focused reflection to help children, teens and adults understand what’s happening inside. I offer flexible in-person sessions in Nairobi and secure online sessions in English or Kiswahili. Brief assessments help us set clear goals, while activity-based techniques, practical skills and short between-session reflections support progress with anxiety, trauma, behaviour challenges and life transitions. This approach works well for families and teens who want practical, down-to-earth support.
