    Mental Health & AI Advisory

    Strategic guidance for founders building in mental health, digital health, and regulated care who need experienced input — but aren't ready for a full engagement yet.

    Some decisions are too important to make without experienced input, but too early for a full engagement. Advisory gives you access to senior product thinking when you need it: a focused conversation, honest perspective, and clarity on what to do next.

    One-off or monthly
    The kinds of questions I get

    You probably already know the question. You just want someone who's been here before.

    "

    We're adding AI to a therapy platform. How do we make sure it's clinically useful and not just a feature?

    "

    Our product touches sensitive patient data. What should we be thinking about before we scale?

    "

    We have a product that works, but no one's sure where to take it next. Can you just look at it?

    "

    I'm a founder with a clinical background but no product experience. How do I think about building this?

    "

    We need to pitch investors next month and the product story isn't clear yet.

    "

    Is what we're building actually different from what's already out there?

    "

    We're the first product team at a clinical org. How do we even set this up?

    How it works

    Lightweight by design. Useful by default.

    You bring the question. I bring a decade of building product functions in mental health, digital health, and regulated care — and now my own products. We talk through it. You leave with clarity.

    One-Off Session

    A specific question deserves a focused answer.

    I review your context beforehand. We spend 60-90 minutes working through the question together. You get a written follow-up with recommendations, trade-offs, and what I'd do next if I were you.

    Good for

    Product direction checks, AI feature decisions, clinical workflow questions, investor prep.

    Monthly Advisory

    Ongoing access as things evolve.

    One or two calls per month, plus async availability between sessions. A senior product perspective on tap as you navigate a complex space. No scope documents. Just an open line to someone who understands the domain.

    Good for

    Early-stage founders, teams entering clinical validation, companies scaling in regulated markets.

    Where this thinking shows up

    The strategic shifts behind the work

    The product had features but no intelligence function connecting them to clinical outcomes.

    I built the first: three signal layers that turned raw session data into therapeutic alliance scores.

    Mentalyc
    Mental HealthAI

    Public health programs worked in person but couldn't scale.

    I designed the first personalized digital coaching layer that preserved clinical fidelity while scaling the experience.

    Thrive Tribe
    Digital HealthAI

    A consulting firm was hitting a ceiling.

    I built the first digital product function they'd ever had: a platform that turned their methodology into a self-serve assessment.
