I am a social worker with nearly a decade of mental health experience. I moved to Kenya in 2017 and have been able to spend extensive time in South Sudan and parts of North Africa. Through my own personal experience living cross culturally I have seen the need for both preventative care and restorative care for global workers.

My clinical approach is unique to each individual or couple but I believe in gently uncovering the root of the problem in order to create sustainable change for each person I meet. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I have also done advanced training in complex trauma and dissociation. Additionally, I pull from other modalities when appropriate such as parts work (aspects of Internal Family Systems) and sandtray therapy. 

It is my honor to foster, and hold, a safe space for my brave clients who show up to do the hard work of mental health care. I believe that by working together and relying on the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we can bring forth hope and healing to hard situations. 

I am available virtually, and in person in Nairobi, to meet with adults and couples.
