What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to further develop my skills in clinical psychology while providing impactful support to individuals in need.

I am a dedicated psychologist with a strong foundation in clinical practices and a commitment to ethical standards. My experience at the Department of Defense in Nairobi has equipped me with the skills to conduct both qualitative and quantitative research, enhancing my understanding of psychological phenomena. I excel in building rapport with patients, utilizing therapeutic communication techniques to guide discussions and provide effective support.

Throughout my career, I have administered psychological assessments and interpreted results to accurately diagnose mental health conditions. I have provided bereavement counseling and crisis intervention services, helping individuals and families navigate through challenging times. My collaborative approach with multidisciplinary teams ensures that I deliver holistic care, while my commitment to continuous professional development keeps me abreast of the latest theories and practices in psychology.
