I have extensive experience supporting survivors of domestic violence and early childhood trauma.
Many of the people I work with have spent a long time carrying difficult experiences on their own. They may be struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or life transitions. Some are learning more about themselves, including exploring what it means to be neurodivergent or making sense of experiences that have never quite made sense, while others wonder why they keep falling into the same painful patterns, even when they're trying their best to change. Together, we'll better understand those patterns, build on your strengths, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Do you often feel like you are threading water, instead of surfing above it? Are you doubting that you are not where you want to be in your life? Perhaps you are seeking clarity and insight, and calm after turbulence. I strive to facilitate self-empowerment and self-efficacy through adaptive coping/behavioral skills, strengthening cognitive insight, while honoring that change is hard when life gets hard. My work with individuals who have felt unheard and invalidated has led me to conceptualize concerns related to eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and substance use as closely intertwined.

My experience across child and adult mental health, community-based social work, and integrated behavioral health within a Federally Qualified Health Center, helps me to empathically care for clients facing trauma, intimate partner violence, migration stress, and socioeconomic barriers.
I am a dedicated Behavioral Health Consultant and psychotherapist. My work is grounded in a deep commitment to culturally responsive and trauma‑informed mental health care. My professional identity is shaped by a rich cross‑cultural journey—born and raised in Kenya and later practicing in the United States—which allows me to bridge cultural gaps that often complicate access to effective behavioral health services. This lived experience informs my belief that mental health care must honor the cultural identities, histories, and lived realities of the individuals and families we serve.

I specialize in supporting women and teens who have experienced domestic abuse, childhood trauma, PTSD, and substance use disorders.
Life can leave us carrying wounds we’ve learned to function through but never fully heal. If you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, burnout, or life transitions, I offer a space to slow down, feel seen, and rebuild from strength—not survival. My approach is trauma-informed and relational. I believe healing isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about helping you reconnect to the resilient, capable parts of yourself that may have been overshadowed by pain. That is why I founded the Healing Well Counseling & Consulting. Together, we’ll build practical tools so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and hope.

Domestic Abuse Therapists
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.

When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.

What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.

How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
