"I'm incredibly grateful for the transformative experience I had with Gitima. At a time when I was going through a very challenging phase, struggling to find a job in the midst of the pandemic in 2020, Gitima's guidance and support became a beacon of light. From our very first conversation, Gitima exhibited a deep understanding and empathy for my situation, creating a safe space where I could share my fears and frustrations openly. Despite the setbacks and rejections I faced, she helped me uncover the hidden opportunities and possibilities that I couldn't see on my own. Through her insightful questioning and gentle encouragement, Gitima guided me to explore my passions, talents, and untapped potential. She used her vast experience in counseling to help me cultivate a positive mindset, teaching me to embrace resilience and maintain hope. Gitima empowered me with practical tools and strategies to enhance my self-confidence, develop a strong personal and purpose-driven brand, and make a meaningful impact in the world. Throughout our journey, Gitima's unwavering support, compassion, and expertise to hold space for my challenges while simultaneously helping me transform and fulfill my goals was truly remarkable. She helped me navigate through a difficult phase and come out stronger on the other side. If you are going through a challenging time or feeling lost, I wholeheartedly recommend Gitima as a life coach.

About Me

Hello! I'm Gitima. I use my educational training (Masters degree and Ph.D. in Counseling), more than 15 years of experience as a professor, counselor, coach, and mental health consultant, and research in Positive Psychology to help clients achieve their relationships, career, and mental health goals without sacrificing one aspect of life for another.

As a professor, I have mentored more than 500 counselors and therapists, and served as the Chair of Mental Health Task Force at California State University. I was also invited by Stanford University and several other organizations to present my research findings on sense of purpose, self-worth, life satisfaction, and career success.

As a mother, I understand that juggling with life’s multiple roles and responsibilities can often bring feelings of stress, overwhelm, and guilt, which are so important to address to not only achieve personal well-being but also nurture truly happy families.

As a Coach, Consultant, and Counselor, I have supported clients from different age-groups and cultural backgrounds to effectively cope with life's various struggles and transitions. My sessions are rooted in research, counseling training, and humanistic philosophy that respects the vast potential and unique purpose of every person's life. I am looking forward to supporting you on your journey to meet your life's most meaningful goals and strengthen your mental health and inner well-being.
