What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration, supports mental health initiatives, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

As a licensed counseling psychologist based in Nairobi, I have dedicated my career to understanding and addressing emotional and mental disorders. With a degree in Counseling Psychology from Kenyatta University, I have honed my skills in psychological assessment, treatment planning, and therapeutic interventions. My experience includes working as a Clinical Manager at Wiseway Counseling and Treatment Center, where I led a team to enhance client care and promote mental wellness.

Throughout my professional journey, I have developed a strong ability to connect with clients from diverse backgrounds, ensuring culturally sensitive and empathetic support. My role involved not only diagnosing and evaluating clients but also formulating personalized treatment plans that cater to their unique needs. I take pride in my meticulous attention to detail and effective communication skills, which have been instrumental in fostering strong client-counselor relationships.

I am passionate about promoting mental health awareness and have participated in global peace training, which has further enriched my leadership and teamwork capabilities. I am eager to continue making a positive impact in the field of psychology and contribute to the well-being of individuals and communities.
