Hi, I'm Karla!

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I believe in compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based care. I support individuals juggling busy, demanding lives dealing with anxiety and depression. I’ve been a nurse for over 12 years, with the last three focused on mental health care. My goal is to guide your healing in the right direction.

I am a board-certified Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I've worked in different practice settings, including private practice, community mental health, homeless and correctional services, and addiction. I treat and manage a range of disorders ( depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, PTSD, OCD, addictions, etc).

I believe that every person deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported. Reaching out for mental health care can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to make that first step as comfortable as possible. I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, PTSD, and other mood and stress-related concerns. I understand that every person's experiences are unique, so I take the time to truly listen before creating a treatment plan. My priority is to build a trusting relationship where you feel safe discussing your concerns and confident that we're working toward your goals together.

You’re the one who usually has everything under control, but lately, the "strong" version of you feels like a mask that’s getting too heavy to wear. Whether you’re a mother wondering why you feel detached from the life you worked so hard to build, or a parent exhausted by the cycle of ADHD-related challenges—you don’t have to carry this alone.

I provide a warm, judgment-free space where you can stop surviving and start thriving. My approach is patient-centered, trauma-informed, and evidence-based, tailored to move you toward a life where you feel present, connected, and capable.

I specialize in:

• Perinatal & Maternal Mental Health: Navigating the "new reality" of motherhood.
• High-Achieving Professionals: Managing burnout, perfectionism, and "mental load."
• Neurodiversity-Affirming Care: Supporting parents and children navigating ADHD and behavioral hurdles.

Why Work With Me?

Healing begins the moment you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are and walk alongside you as an active partner in your mental health journey.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) specializing in comprehensive, lifespan mental health care. My clinical approach blends rigorous scientific precision with a deeply empathetic, collaborative philosophy, ensuring you feel empowered rather than just a diagnosis.

• Anxiety & Depressive Disorders: Managing generalized anxiety, panic, and major depression.
• Mood & Psychotic Disorders: Utilizing modern clinical strategies for Bipolar disorder and complex mood shifts.
• Complex Presentations: Providing sensitive care for eating disorders, trauma histories, and personality-related behavior patterns.

Outside of psychiatry, I am an avid traveler and a passionate gardener. Tending to my roses daily is my favorite way to practice mindfulness and decompress, ensuring I return to my patients with a refreshed mind and renewed energy.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I believe healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.
