Certified Psychologist · Certified Mindset Coach · Trauma-informed · Integrative

For high-functioning people who are exhausted.

Together, we find out why.

You appear capable, composed, and driven. Inside, you're running on empty — disconnected from yourself, caught between ambition and collapse, wondering when you get to stop surviving and start actually living.

A space to exhale, rebuild, and return to yourself.

I work with thoughtful, high-achieving individuals navigating burnout, identity transitions, relationship wounds, complex trauma, and nervous-system exhaustion. Not to fix you — but to help you return to yourself.

About Me

Psychology, business, and a deep understanding of what it costs to over-function.

I bring academic grounding, professional breadth, and lived understanding to this work. The combination is not accidental — it is precisely why my clients feel genuinely seen.

Founder & Lead Therapist, Einkehr Psychotherapy

The face behind Einkehr — bringing both clinical training and lived understanding to every session.

Who I Am

I hold a BA in Psychology and an MSc in Business Psychology & Management, and I am a Certified Psychologist. I am also a Certified Mindset Coach, having guided numerous individuals through significant transformations in identity, purpose, and personal growth — work that deepens the psychological lens I bring to every session.

"I understand what it feels like to appear highly functional while internally exhausted — to be intelligent without inner safety."

Before founding Einkehr Psychotherapy, I spent years working across mentoring, leadership development, organisational behaviour, and people strategy — internationally across Kenya, Africa and Europe. That lived understanding is not background noise. It is the foundation of the most honest and attuned part of my therapeutic work.

My Philosophy

Therapy should feel like a grounded exhale. A place where you can stop performing strength long enough to be honest about how overwhelmed you actually are.

Healing does not happen through pressure or constant self-optimisation. It happens through safety, spaciousness, honesty, and genuine attunement. Einkehr Psychotherapy is designed to embody exactly that — from the first email you send, to the way each session is paced.

My Approach

  • Emotionally attuned and trauma-aware
  • Nervous-system and self-regulation focused
  • Compassionate exploration of attachment patterns
  • Integrative: psychology, somatic work, meaning-making
  • Mindset coaching and cognitive-behavioural frameworks
  • Insight-oriented and practically grounded
  • Depth over scale — smaller, intentional caseload
Who I Work With

High-functioning on the outside. Overwhelmed on the inside.

My clients are not broken. They are capable, emotionally intelligent people who have been carrying too much for too long — and are finally ready for something different.

Burnt-out Professionals

High-achievers whose productivity has become their primary way of managing emotion — exhausted by their own ambition, struggling to rest without guilt.

Start-up Founders

Founders navigating the psychological weight of building — identity tied to a company, the loneliness of leadership, pressure, uncertainty, and the cost of always being the one who holds it together.

Expats & International Professionals

Internationally mobile individuals navigating cultural dislocation, identity confusion, visa uncertainty, and the emotional weight of starting over in a new country.

Relationship & Attachment Work

People exploring relationship and attachment patterns — including anxious, avoidant, and disorganised styles — and the dynamics that shape how they love, connect, and repair.

Sensitive Overthinkers

Individuals who intellectually understand themselves but cannot yet emotionally regulate — overthinking as a survival strategy, insight without embodiment, living in the mind to avoid the body.

Identity & Life Transitions

People in the disorienting middle of a "who am I now?" period — after a career pivot, relocation, relationship shift, or the quiet unravelling of a former self.

Complex Trauma & Adverse Childhood Experiences

Individuals navigating the lasting effects of complex trauma and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) — where early adversity continues to shape adult patterns, relationships, and sense of safety. We work gently, at the pace of your nervous system, without pressure.

ACEs · C-PTSD · Trauma-Informed

Psycho-Education — Groups & Collectives

A structured, evidence-informed approach translating psychological insight into accessible knowledge. I offer sessions for small teams, businesses, families, and friendship circles — building shared language and collective emotional resilience.

You might be here because you've said…

I know what I should do, but I can't seem to do it.

I'm exhausted all the time — and I don't know why.

I tie my worth entirely to my achievements.

I feel like I'm always waiting for my life to begin.

I don't know how to rest without feeling guilty.

I'm tired of surviving. I want to actually feel safe.

Therapeutic Approach

Depth, structure, and the kind of gentleness that doesn't flinch.

My work is integrative — drawing from multiple evidence-informed frameworks and adapting to what your nervous system and emotional landscape actually need.

01

Nervous-System Regulation

Helping you move from chronic activation — the constant hum of urgency, anxiety, and vigilance — into sustainable, embodied calm.

02

Attachment & Relational Patterns

Exploring how early experiences shape your current relationships, emotional responses, and the ways you seek or avoid closeness.

03

Identity & Meaning-Making

Supporting the "who am I now?" process — rebuilding a relationship with yourself that isn't dependent on performance or outcome.

04

Somatic & Body-Based Work

Drawing on somatic practices to bring the body back into the healing process — because lasting change is stored and released through the body, not only the mind.

05

Practical Emotional Tools

Grounding practices, reflective frameworks, journaling prompts, and structured self-inquiry — tools you can live in, not just think about.

06

Trauma-Informed Pacing

Work that moves at the pace of your nervous system — not pushing for breakthroughs, but building the safety from which they naturally emerge.

"My greatest therapeutic strength is not having all the answers. It is deeply understanding what it feels like to lose yourself — and what it takes to slowly come back."

How I Work

A clear, considered path from first contact to lasting change.

The process is designed to feel grounded and unhurried — each step builds trust and clarity before the deeper work begins.

01

Free Consultation

We begin with a free 20-minute call — an informal, no-pressure conversation where you can share what you're navigating, ask questions, and get a sense of whether working together feels right.

There is nothing you need to prepare. Simply show up as you are.

02

Onboarding

If we decide to move forward, you'll be guided through a short onboarding process. This includes two documents designed to set a clear, safe foundation:

Client Intake FormA confidential overview of your background, history, current concerns, and goals — helping me understand you before we begin.
Therapy AgreementA consolidated document covering the therapeutic relationship in full — including informed consent, confidentiality, your rights as a client, fees, payment, scheduling, and cancellation terms. Everything you need to step into the work with clarity and confidence.
03

Sessions Begin

Once onboarding is complete, we begin. Sessions are 50 minutes, held at a consistent time each week — available in-person in Nairobi or online, wherever you are in the world.

The first sessions are about building trust, establishing rhythm, and creating the conditions of safety from which meaningful work naturally emerges. There is no rush.

Client Reflections

These are reflections from people who have worked with me — shared with their permission.

It was great to untangle so many things and look deeply into each. The tools, resources and personalised approach exceeded expectations. I gained a lot more clarity, deepened my internalisation and amplified my wholeness.
