A Rare Expertise

Clinical psychologist with a Master's in Computer Science (1996) and 15 years of tech entrepreneurship. I understand the inner workings of AI from a technical standpoint and how to clinically analyze their interactions with patients.

This unique position allows me to move beyond binary stances — technophilia or technophobia — to offer a nuanced reflection on the challenges of AI in mental health.
