Karibu! I am a missionary clinical psychologist and marriage and family therapist serving third-culture kids, missionary couples, and families. I work with children, youth, couples, and families navigating trauma and anxiety, cultural stress, cross-cultural transitions, burnout, relational disconnection and difficulties, and seasons of spiritual wilderness while living and ministering cross-culturally.

My clinical approach is faith-based and family-centered, integrating a relational-cultural perspective with a community-focused social justice lens. As a psychologist, I live out my conviction that I am an active part of the Kingdom narrative that is centrally about shalom, wholeness and healing. I come alongside children, youth, couples, and families as they write new chapters in their lives, heal emotional and spiritual wounds, and proclaim their identity as beloved children of God.

I provide in-person counseling in Nairobi and offer comprehensive, individualized psychological assessments for children and adolescents, including cognitive, academic, neuropsychological, behavioral, and personality evaluations.

​​I am a counsellor and psychotherapist who joined Tumaini in February 2024 after serving as a physiotherapist with the Karamojong, an unreached people group in northeastern Uganda. This experience of ministry in a remote, cross-cultural setting informs my work as a counsellor. This experience also enabled me to recognize the importance of both preventive and restorative mental health care for missionaries.

I have extensive experience working with both adults and young people, blending warmth, creativity, and expertise to help clients feel seen and understood. My integrative approach emphasises four key elements: the client, the therapeutic relationship, hope, and the therapeutic model. I tailor my approach to each individual’s needs, whether incorporating person-centred, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural, or existential therapy. I prioritise building trust and helping clients unpack their stories.

I believe the quality of the relationship between client and therapist is crucial for effective therapy. Therefore, I focus on creating a strong bond through empathy, acceptance, and genuineness. My Christian faith is central to my work, providing me with purpose and a sense of hope. Research shows that having hope and expecting positive change can significantly enhance therapy outcomes. One of my favourite therapeutic tools is the sandtray, along with miniature figures, which I use to help clients uncover and explore deeper emotions. This method offers a creative way to express the subconscious in a safe space.

Therapeutic Modalities:

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Person-centred Therapy

Psychodynamic Therapy

Existential Therapy

I joined Tumaini in October 2022 as a licensed clinical professional counselor because I have a deep desire to walk alongside missionaries who long to see God work through their brokenness. My specialties include marital counseling, using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and trauma care, as I am trained in EMDR. I’ve also been blessed with intercultural experience that helps me connect with clients from diverse backgrounds.

Whether I’m working with an individual, a couple, or a family, I strive to respond with a sensitivity that honors the health of the relationships and communities each client belongs to. I’m available for sessions four days a week and look forward to being a supportive part of your journey.
