Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Minneapolis, MN

Trauma can affect every part of a person’s life — relationships, confidence, trust, safety, and the way you see yourself. I specialize in supporting women who are healing from childhood trauma, PTSD, adoption-related experiences, racial identity concerns, and other painful life experiences that may still be impacting them today.

My goal is to provide a space where you feel seen, supported, and never judged. I believe healing should feel personal, collaborative, and empowering. Together, we’ll work to understand what you’ve been carrying, identify what you need to feel more grounded, and build practical tools that support real growth. You do not have to navigate this alone — your healing matters, and your story deserves care.

I use a relational approach to working with adolescence. I am easy to talk to and like to listen.

I'm a board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner with over 10+ of experience in the mental health field, and 3 years as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I founded Isimi Health & Wellness to provide thoughtful, evidence-based psychiatric care rooted in compassion, cultural humility, and a deep respect for the mind-body connection. My clinical background spans across PHP/IOP settings, Outpatient psychiatry, TMS, and telepsychiatry. I’ve worked with diverse populations experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions. Whether you're seeking support for mood instability, clarity around your medication options, or a space to reset and realign, I’m honored to walk alongside you on your wellness journey.

I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care for children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in the evaluation, diagnosis, and medication management of ADHD, anxiety disorders, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout your mental health journey.

I believe that every person's story is unique, so I take the time to understand your concerns, symptoms, lifestyle, and treatment goals before developing an individualized care plan. I incorporate medication management with supportive counseling and evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques and Motivational Interviewing, to help you build practical coping skills and achieve lasting improvement.

Whether you're struggling with difficulty focusing, persistent worry, overwhelming stress, low mood, emotional challenges, or life transitions, I work collaboratively with you to help you regain balance and improve your overall well-being.
