Expert Insight to
Elevate your Story
From script reviews and story development to workshops and on-camera expertise, I bridge the gap between clinical knowledge and creative storytelling.
As a therapist and psychiatrist with close to 20 years of experience, I bring clinical expertise to media projects, helping to ensure accurate, ethical, and engaging portrayals of mental health and mental illness in entertainment. My services help writers, producers, and developers create authentic characters and narratives while fostering empathy and reducing stigma.

I review scripts and projects and offer expert feedback during the revision process. We can meet via Zoom, over the phone, or in-person to review my notes and ideate on next steps.
I offer an on-site presence for ad hoc consultation during filming and recording, whether in studio, on a motion capture stage, or on-location at outdoor sites.
I also serve as an on-screen expert in projects relating to mental health.
