Carla received her graduate degree in Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing from the University of Utah, College of Nursing in 2014.  Prior to becoming a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, she worked for 15 years as a registered nurse on the Stepdown/Post-surgical/Medicine unit at the Veteran’s Medical Center in Salt Lake City.

She understands that people who suffer from depression, anxiety and other mental health illnesses often feel weakened, alone and deprived of power or hope in living a contented, balanced, and full life. Carla strives to help clients feel connected, empowered, and hopeful in living a purposeful life.

Carla seeks to help clients achieve their optimal state of wellness, using individualized, collaborative, and evidence-based approaches.  Carla helps clients make informed choices about their mental health through education about “the why” and available medication treatment options, therapy referral, and possible results.

She endeavors to create a safe, respectful, and caring environment for client healing. Carla looks forward to serving her community and helping clients reach their treatment goals.
