Emily’s Treatment Philosophy
I can truly say I have discovered my passion working as a psychotherapist who specializes in sex therapy. I take careful consideration with each case that comes through my door. My dedication is to working collaboratively with you and your partner toward the goal of living a more fulfilling life. I believe I have a natural ability to make working through and talking about sexual concerns as comfortable as possible. One size doesn’t fit all. I take time to conceptualize each case and tailor my treatment to meet unique needs, and I strongly believe in the utilization of a multidisciplinary, team approach when necessary. My dedication, compassion, and enthusiasm drive me to work with you till the end, and my integrity ensures you will receive quality care.
