Meet Dr. M, PhD
Nourishing Change Through Research, Advocacy, and Culturally Conscious Healing.
I am deeply committed to culturally conscious care, specializing in addressing systemic oppression, race-based trauma, and mental health disparities. With close to 10 years in experience across forensic, clinical, and community settings, I blend theory and practice to foster resilience and holistic healing. I approach my work from an intersectional, empowering, and grounded perspective, striving to create transformative spaces for healing and connection.
The community that shaped me continues to inspire my work. As a mother of two, a caregiver, wife, and friend, my life is rooted in connection, care, and love. I find joy in exploring all kinds of music and forms of art, appreciating how they reflect and celebrate the beauty of our shared experiences.
My values are grounded in community, creativity, and the relationships that bring us together. Whether through my work or personal life, I strive to honor the people and places that have helped me grow.
