What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my counseling expertise while fostering a supportive environment for personal and professional growth.

I am a dedicated psychologist with over 10 years of experience in addressing clients' physical, emotional, and psychological needs. My journey has been marked by a commitment to providing innovative treatment services that help individuals navigate their psychological struggles. I have also had the privilege of teaching at the University of Nairobi, where I assist the psychology department in supporting students' academic and personal growth.

My core competencies include extensive experience in individual and group counseling, employing evidence-based therapeutic approaches to tackle a wide range of mental health issues. I am skilled in mentorship and training, having led initiatives aimed at enhancing the skills of undergraduate students and supporting their development. My ability to create a safe and non-judgmental space for clients fosters strong therapeutic alliances, enabling individuals to explore their feelings and work towards personal growth.
