PSYCHOLOGIST, SPEAKER, ADVISOR, INVESTOR
Rethinking mental wellness for the world we’re living, and the years ahead.
The future of mental healthcare will being shaped far beyond the clinic: in our schools, workplaces, communities, products, policies, and investment decisions.
As a psychologist, investor, advisor, and speaker, I help audiences make sense of what is changing—and what it will take to build more human, equitable, and evidence-informed approaches to mental health and everyday well-being.
My talks bring together behavioral science, emerging trends, practical strategy, and a view of the opportunities and tensions ahead. We look beyond awareness alone and toward action, highlighting the choices leaders, organizations, funders, and communities can make to strengthen systems of mental health and create conditions in which more people can thrive.
The goal is not simply to predict the future of mental wellness. It is to help shape a better one.
