Karibu.

I hold a BA in Counseling Psychology and an MA in Clinical Psychology, and much of what shapes my practice was learned as much in the field as in the therapy room. Years in private and clinical practice have shaped a deeply trauma-informed approach.

The Body Keeps the Score, Compassionate Inquiry, and neuroplasticity, my personal favourite, guide how I practice. I specialise in CPTSD, attachment trauma, shame, anxiety, and depressive disorders. Shame in particular has a quiet reach: it can shape self-worth, relationships, and how safe someone feels being truly seen, often long before they recognise its hold, and working through it is frequently where the deepest change begins.

I’m a certified Mediator with the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, was selected to train Kenya’s County First Ladies, and I’m currently training as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. I’ve also served on the East and Southern Africa MHPSS Community of Practice Steering Committee, working toward accessible, quality psychological care for people living with mental illness and their caregivers across the region.
