Dynamic psychologist passionate about innovative problem-solving and mental health.
What I'm looking for
I am a dynamic and driven psychologist with a strong commitment to academic excellence and a diverse skill set that includes leadership, effective communication, and teamwork. My experience as a counselor at St. Mary’s School Nairobi has allowed me to provide individual and group therapy, crisis support, and preventive programs, all while collaborating with staff and parents to enhance student well-being. I am recognized for my adaptability and proactive approach, which I believe are essential in fostering a safe and inclusive environment.
Currently, I am providing online counseling to students at Riena International College, addressing both academic and personal issues. I facilitate mental health webinars and offer stress management strategies, which strengthen our virtual student support. My role as a resident counselor at Excel Wellness Centre further solidified my expertise in addiction treatment and holistic rehabilitation, where I supported clients in recovery through individual and group therapy.
