Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Tyler, TX

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.
