LPCC, 5 years of experience
Hi! I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with a Doctorate in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Western States. I help clients face difficult thoughts and feelings with compassion while uncovering and challenging unhelpful beliefs that keep them stuck. My approach blends empathy with practical tools to create space for resilience, clarity, and committed action toward what truly matters. Because in the end, you have to take yourself everywhere.
In the first session with me, clients can expect to find a non-judgmental and welcoming space where they can openly share their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. I aim to listen carefully and create a safe environment without any pressure.
I believe my greatest strengths as a provider are my ability to listen deeply, help clients clarify their goals, and address those "I don't know" moments that can often feel overwhelming. I challenge with care. I blend honesty and empathy to help you grow, even when your mind wants to fight back. My goal is to create a space where change feels possible and resilience becomes your foundation
I enjoy working with individuals new to therapy who may need support in normalizing the experience of sharing personal, confidential information with someone they don’t know. I am best positioned to serve those who are ready to go beyond validation and want real movement toward change. I work well with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, relationship or high-performance challenges, or feeling stuck, who are looking for support that helps them take meaningful steps toward a life of growth and purpose rather than staying in patterns of stagnation or struggle.
I value acknowledging that we can’t always control the content of our minds, such as negative thoughts or difficult emotions. Instead of trying to suppress or eliminate them, ACT helps us accept these thoughts without judgment, recognizing that they sometimes work for us, guiding us toward meaningful action, and other times, they can hold us back. This approach feels validating, as it allows us to acknowledge our experiences without feeling defeated by them. It’s also problem-focused, helping us identify and work through obstacles, and flexible, as it adapts to where we are in our journey, allowing us to respond to our minds’ fluctuations with openness and commitment to our values.
After using ACT to build psychological flexibility, we draw on CFT to explore your systems of thinking and being, uncovering how to engage with yourself differently.
Multiculturalism serves as the "background" to my approach because I believe every human being is unique, shaped by their distinct cultural experiences and identities. This perspective allows me to provide individualized care, recognizing and honoring the cultural aspects that are significant to each person. In a world that can often feel invalidating or dismissive of diverse backgrounds, I strive to create a space where individuals feel seen, understood, and respected for who they are. By incorporating multicultural considerations into my work, I empower people to embrace their cultural identities while also addressing the universal aspects of the human experience.
We integrate CBT to increase awareness of thinking patterns and develop practical skills, bringing everything together into a personalized wellness toolkit for meaningful change.

Dr. Wallace is challenging while remaining non-judgemental, he's warm, and he is genuine. He uses tools that help you dig deeper and make connections.
