Personal Injury-Related Counseling Services

As both a licensed attorney and mental health clinician, I provide trauma‑focused mental health treatment and clear documentation for individuals involved in personal injury matters in Texas. I am trained in EMDR, one of the most evidence-based and widely validated therapies for PTSD and acute trauma. For clients who have experienced a motor vehicle collision or other sudden injury, EMDR directly targets of acute trauma such as intrusive memories, hypervigilance, avoidance behaviors, and emotional reactivity that often persist long after the physical injuries have healed.

In my attorney practice, I spent six years working qui tam healthcare fraud investigations and litigation for the Texas Attorney General’s Office. I have a practical understanding of how evidence is built, how records are scrutinized, and what makes an expert’s opinions helpful and durable in litigation. Crucially, I have extensive experience working alongside plantiff's counsel in legal proceedings.

How I support your cases

I aim to strengthen your case by providing:

• Clinically grounded diagnosis and treatment focused on accident‑related symptoms

• Records that clearly show onset, course, functional impact, and response to treatment

• Treatment summaries that use language helpful for explaining emotional damages to adjusters, mediators, and juries

• Honest, evidence‑based opinions rooted in the clinical record.

Letters of Protection and fees

I accept select PI cases under letters of protection from partnering firms. In these matters:

• Clinical services are billed under a separate PI/medico‑legal fee schedule that reflects the added documentation, coordination, and collection risks in PI work

• Any non‑treatment medico‑legal services (such as extended summaries, deposition, or testimony) are billed separately from therapy.

ATTORNEY REFERRALS

I provide specialized support for legal professionals and prioritize timely consultations for attorney referrals. Reach out to discuss how I can support your clients.
