I believe in hope—even when things feel overwhelming. I’ve spent many years supporting people through trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions, and I warmly welcome children, teens, and adults to reach out. Clients often describe me as open‐minded, direct, and warm—someone who listens deeply but also helps you challenge what’s holding you back.
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 work with neurodivergent women, especially moms, who have trouble turning off their brain and connecting to their feelings. Many of my clients are people pleasing, perfectionistic, and struggle with their relationships with others. As someone with 10 years experience studying and practicing in the mental health space, I can tell you that having a sense of belonging and connectedness is the single greatest predictor of mental wellbeing.
Genuine belonging and connection to self or others may be difficult because you're carrying guilt, shame, self-blame, or the pressure to hold everything together. You may look “fine” from the outside while privately feeling overstimulated, burned out, or feeling a lack of purpose or direction.
Therapy can be a place to stop performing, slow down, and connect to yourself, so you can show up in connection and belonging with others in a genuine way.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe meaningful change begins with feeling seen, heard, and supported. I strive to create a comfortable and grounded space where clients can be themselves and move at their own pace. I have experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and substance use concerns. I bring warmth, care, and authenticity into the work we do together.
My clinical style is warm, structured, and collaborative. I emphasize clear communication and shared decision-making with my patients. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where people feel heard and respected.
I have an AGACNP background, which supports my ability to assess medical comorbidity and understand complex medical/psychiatric overlap. I am also DOT-certified, which reflects my knowledge of safety-sensitive considerations and careful medication risk assessment.
- My approach to therapy is interactive and collaborative, focused on your self discovery and growth. I see our work as a partnership where your voice, values, and goals matter. Together, we will explore what is bringing you to therapy and clarify the changes you hope to see in your life, relationships, and overall sense of well being.
- I prefer to join in with my clients rather than sit back and simply observe. We will actively work together to identify patterns, build insight, and develop practical tools that enhance your quality of life. I will offer gentle guidance, ask thoughtful questions, and invite your feedback so our sessions feel useful and relevant to you.
- I believe the therapy relationship is designed to support the change you are seeking.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Amarillo
Finding the right therapist in Amarillo starts with identifying what you're looking for. Consider the concerns you want to address — whether that's anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or something else — and look for a licensed provider with experience in that area. Amarillo has therapists, counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists, each with different training. A therapist or counselor (such as an LPC, LCSW, or LMFT) typically provides talk therapy, while a psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can prescribe medication.
Beyond specialization, practical factors matter too. Think about whether you prefer in-person sessions in Amarillo or virtual appointments, what days and times work for your schedule, and whether a provider's approach feels like a good match. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and what to expect.
Therapy in Amarillo can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use in-network coverage. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per session depending on your plan. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
