Emerald uses a gentle, yet firm approach, which challenges me in the best way.
I felt CPT-SA (cognitive-processing therapy for sexual assault) was tough, but it helped it re-visit the memories in without fear.
I enjoyed being challenged to be more vulnerable. Couples therapy was the most difficult thing I’ve done and with Emerald’s guidance, we improved our intimacy and have a better understanding of each other’s perspective.
Emerald is detailed, present, observant, and warm. She makes talking about sex and fun.
I felt safe sharing things I’ve never shared with anyone else before. Talking about sex is embarrassing sometimes, and I chose Emerald because she seemed like someone I can talk to openly.
As a result of couples therapy, I’ve found my passions again, improved communication, and can advocate for my emotional and sexual needs.
Emerald has a great sense of humor, listens to feedback, and is engaged throughout the session.
She knew what I needed in the moment, including grounding myself in session and doing mindful breathing.
I never felt judged by Emerald. I didn’t feel like a test subject or that I was being observed. She listened patiently, allowed me to tell my story, and believed in me.
