What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can provide evidence-based therapy, lead psychoeducation and mentorship programs, collaborate in multidisciplinary teams, and apply research skills to improve mental health outcomes.

I am a practising counselling psychologist with hands-on experience delivering individual, group, child-centered therapy, psychological testing, crisis intervention, and treatment planning. I integrate evidence-based approaches such as CBT, play therapy, and trauma-informed care to support client recovery and resilience.

I have experience collaborating with multidisciplinary teams—psychiatrists, social workers, teachers, and families—and I design and deliver mentorship and psychoeducation programs for children and communities. My background in research and data analysis informs assessment, reporting, and program evaluation.

I am registered with the Kenya Counselling and Psychologists Board and bring practical experience from clinical practice, educational settings, and field research. I prioritize compassionate, culturally sensitive care and measurable outcomes in all interventions.
