Great to meet you!
As a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 25 years, but in the last decade, have shifted my main focus to diagnostic evaluations and treatment of ADD/ADHD and Ketamine Assisted Therapy for adults aged 18-65 who are struggling with depression, anxiety and attention deficit disorders.
I'm a dual certified family practice and mental health nurse practitioner with extensive experience in outpatient primary care, preventive medicine and psychiatric practice, managing a variety of both medical and mental health conditions across the lifespan.
I work with adults 18 and older who feel anxious, depressed, distracted, emotionally overwhelmed, burned out, or unlike themselves. They may be struggling with ADHD, mood changes, stress, sleep disruption, low motivation, or difficulty functioning in daily life. Many are looking for mental health care that feels thoughtful, thorough, and individualized.
As a Stanford-trained psychiatrist, I work closely with Dr. Sethi at Metabolic Psychiatry Labs (MPL) to manage serious mental illness conditions including bipolar, depression, binge eating disorder, and psychosis. While I am trained in multiple types of psychotherapy, including CBT, psychodynamic, DBT, ACT, and Internal Family Systems. I believe in treating the root cause of mental illness. I provide supportive therapy around your metabolic and psychiatric conditions using different therapeutic approaches.
Are sleepless nights, constant worry, or past trauma stealing your peace? I help adults — especially veterans, first responders, and postpartum moms — reclaim calm, confidence, and purpose. With over 18 years of healthcare experience, Dr. Wallace, a board certified PMHNP, offers both medication-management and therapy, creating a safe, trauma-informed space where your values, culture, and faith are honored. I take a caring, collaborative approach to ensure every patient feels heard, supported, and empowered in their treatment journey.
My clinical approach is centered on your individual goals, with an emphasis on collaboration and compassionate care. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, ADHD/ADD, substance use disorders, and sleep disorders. I also have experience supporting a diverse range of individuals, including (expecting/postpartum) mothers, Veterans, and Law Enforcement professionals.

It’s okay to need support. Life can become overwhelming when anxiety, mood changes, trauma, depression, or panic begin affecting your ability to feel like yourself. You may notice your mind won’t slow down, your sleep is off, or it’s harder to focus and keep up with daily responsibilities. When stress builds or world events add to the weight you’re carrying, it can start to feel like too much to manage alone. Many people reach a point where coping strategies no longer feel like enough, and that’s often when support can make a real difference.
I believe care should feel personal, not rushed or one-size-fits-all. I take time to understand your story, not just your symptoms, and create a space where you feel comfortable being open without fear of judgment. I’ll be honest and supportive, helping you make sense of what you’re experiencing while offering guidance that feels practical and manageable.
My goal is to help you feel more balanced, clear, and confident in navigating your day-to-day life.

Frequently asked questions
Find the right psychiatrist for you
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 Psychiatrist in Texas
Searching for psychiatrists in Texas starts with knowing what kind of mental health care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy and related support. Both can be valid entry points depending on your needs. People often look for psychiatric care for anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management. Across a large state like Texas, the right fit may vary by region, so review each psychiatrist’s training, listed specialties, and care focus before you book.
In Houston, Dallas, Austin, and other parts of Texas, your search may include both in-person and virtual psychiatry options. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so availability, appointment format, and scheduling flexibility can matter as much as location. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading bios can help you understand whether a psychiatrist focuses on evaluation, ongoing medication management, therapy, or a combination of services.
Psychiatric care in Texas can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and browse Texas psychiatrists who are accepting new patients with your plan. Nationally, Headway partners with 100+ insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm what coverage is available in Texas and see your estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
