Emil continually assists me to apply DBT principles to our interactions and treats me with empathy and respect. As I was facing what I felt was overwhelming and insurmountable, Emil has helped me to realize ways to create a healthy coping response to the stressors in my life.

Emil has been amazing to me. I know sometimes I’m not the best client but even then he is always there for me. Sometimes I just need a vent and he’s there. Then after I cool off he gives me some tools to help me in the future. I’m really glad he is my counselor!
