Clinical AI Safety · Consulting
I am a clinical counselor specializing in children and adolescents. I write the crisis protocols and minor safeguards behind conversational AI products, and I test whether they hold when a user pushes back.
The problem
A product does not have to say anything prohibited to injure someone. It only has to become the easiest place to be understood while the harder relationships thin out.
It is the easiest place to think out loud.
It is the first place.
It is the only place that has heard the whole thing.
None of that appears in any single message, which is why message-level review does not find it. It can still be measured, one turn at a time, in what a system does after a user pushes back on being redirected.
What I do
The safety protocol and annual report the new statutes require, with clinical substance your counsel can file.
Start here if there is a date on the calendar.
A walkthrough of your product the way a vulnerable user meets it, and findings your team can act on.
Start here if something ships soon.
Forty scripted scenarios scored at the pushback turn, documented to survive a regulator or an opposing expert.
Start here if you have already published a protocol.
Who I am
I have worked with adolescents and transition-age youth in community mental health, in schools, and in private practice, doing crisis intervention, risk assessment, and developmental work.
Most people evaluating these products come from trust and safety. I bring the standard my own field has spent a century arguing about, and apply it to the decisions that shape how a system behaves.
