I work at the intersection of global mental health, implementation science, and justice-oriented design. My approach is rooted in the belief that mental health services should be built with the people who use them.<\/p>\n

Over the past decade, I’ve partnered with service users, researchers, clinicians, and organizations across East Africa, South Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. My work focuses on translating research into programs, training, and tools that are ethical, effective, and feasible in real-world settings.<\/p>\n

I don’t believe in top-down consulting. I act as a bridge \u2014 ensuring that lived experience drives how services are designed and delivered, and that organizations have the support they need to implement meaningful change.<\/p>\n
