psychology. art. physics.
I founded MOBI in 2022 to keep doing work I believe in — building mental health programs that connect with the people they serve. The human nervous system is the common denominator across systems that only appear separate. As a clinician and consultant, I map implications in both directions — from individual regulation to program design and back again. MOBI provides clinical and technical expertise in screening, assessment, mental health literacy, and art-based MHPSS interventions for people impacted by forced migration — including more intensive psychotherapy support, program design consulting, and practicum training for the next generation of clinicians doing this work.
stabilizing complexity
What if the people most impacted by forced migration hold encoded patterns that inform how complex systems stabilize?
If we want to move the tech revolution race towards something better for tomorrow and preferably away from the possibility of extinction— the human nervous system provides blueprint stabilization data worth considering, and I think a good place to start is in the artwork of people impacted by forced migration.

Design
Trainings are designed to connect and equip practicum students, clinicians, program leadership, and community-based mental health providers with practical knowledge and tools for working with individuals and families affected by forced migration, especially in today’s shifting landscape of immigration policy, refugee services, and social safety nets in Texas and beyond.

Lecture training sessions can be adapted to various formats, highly tailored, and built to meet the needs of today’s frontline providers. Whether virtual or in person, these workshops are designed to bring practical insight and meaningful engagement to teams navigating post-migration care, policy shifts, and systems-level burnout. Sessions include field-based clinical tools, story-rich case examples, and a touch of creative whimsy. I often thread the presentation with AI-generated black-and-white astronaut imagery—surreal, reflective visuals that invite participants to look at old problems from new perspectives. Whether it’s a moon mural blooming with flowers or an astronaut holding a balloon, each image is placed with intention to deepen connection, spark reflection, and present the material in a meaningful way.

"I liked drawing a lot when I was younger but as an adult I felt uncomfortable at first. But then I realized from drawing that there are things inside that I knew were there but I couldn't let them out until I did it here."

Church World Services
"The MOBI team assisted in the interviewing and selecting of two clinical staff, who are highly qualified and are providing amazing services to clients. I have utilized structures developed by MOBI including development of an internship program, high risk protocols, and client documents and forms, which they have vetted and utilized in their own program. This has saved me countless time and avoided delays in program implementation. The MOBI team developed training materials for future staff onboarding, which will create continuity of training. Chaundra and Kristina were such a joy to work with and I'm hopeful we can utilize their services and expertise in the future"
