CONSULTING & SPEAKING
Building Ethical, Accessible Mental Health Solutions for the Digital Age
I partner with tech companies, digital mental health platforms, and organizations to ensure innovation in mental healthcare actually serves the people who need it most.
Here's what I've learned
Technology can democratize mental healthcare—but only when built with clinical expertise, cultural humility, and genuine commitment to equity.
Too often, digital mental health tools are designed without adequate clinical input. They prioritize engagement metrics over therapeutic outcomes. They claim to serve "everyone" while leaving behind the most vulnerable.
I help organizations do better.
With 13+ years of clinical experience, 20+ years in media production and organizational leadership, and lived understanding of health equity gaps—I bring a unique lens to consulting work that bridges storytelling, psychology, and technology.

MY APPROACH TO CONSULTING
I Center Equity
Every recommendation I make is filtered through the question: "Does this serve those who've been left behind?"
I Tell You the Truth
If your product or approach has problems, I'll tell you. I'm here to help you build better—not validate what's already happening.
I Bring Clinical + Strategic Expertise
I understand both therapy and business. I can speak to clinical teams and C-suites with equal fluency.
I Work Collaboratively
Your team knows your product. I know mental healthcare. Best outcomes happen when we work together.

SPEAKING & TRAINING
Transforming How Organizations Think About Mental Health
I speak at conferences, corporate events, and community gatherings—bringing evidence-based insights on mental health innovation, AI ethics, workplace psychological safety, and health equity.
What makes my speaking different
I've been both the executive producer managing highstakes productions and the therapist treating the human cost of broken systems. I don't just talk about theory—I share what actually works, what fails, and how to build better.
SPEAKING TOPICS
Mental Health in the Age of AI
As digital mental health tools proliferate, how do we ensure they help rather than harm? I explore the opportunities, risks, and ethical considerations of AI in mental healthcare—from chatbot therapists to algorithmic risk assessment. Drawing from both clinical practice and consulting work, I offer practical frameworks for responsible innovation.
Ideal for: Tech conferences, digital health summits, healthcare innovation events
Building Accessible Mental Health Systems
Mental healthcare in America wasn't designed for everyone—and the gaps are widening. I discuss how to dismantle barriers facing communities of color, low-income populations, and mental health deserts. This isn't abstract theory—it's actionable strategies for expanding access through policy, technology, and community partnership.
Ideal for: Healthcare organizations, nonprofits, advocacy groups, policy convenings
Prevention-Focused Care: Moving Beyond Crisis Management
We spend billions managing mental health crises that could have been prevented. I make the case for prevention-focused mental healthcare—building resilience before overwhelm becomes crisis. Drawing from 13+ years of clinical work, I share what early intervention looks like in practice.
Ideal for: Healthcare providers, employee wellness programs, educational institutions
Ethical Design for Digital Therapeutics
Your app might have great engagement metrics—but is it clinically sound? I help tech teams understand what it takes to build mental health products that actually work: clinical validation, trauma-informed design, cultural competency, and meaningful safety protocols.
Ideal for: Digital health startups, product teams, UX/design conferences
The Business Case for Psychological Safety
Psychological safety isn't just "nice to have"—it drives performance, retention, and innovation. Drawing from my experience leading teams at Paramount and CBS Sports, I show how humancentered leadership creates tangible business results.
Ideal for: Corporate leadership, HR conferences, management training
Navigating Relationships in Modern Life
From my work as a couples therapist and featured expert in HuffPost, I explore how attachment patterns, communication breakdowns, and modern stressors shape our relationships—and what actually helps people connect more deeply.
Ideal for: Mental health conferences, relationship-focused events, community organizations
From Media to Mental Health: Bridging Storytelling & Clinical Practice
