Anyway, just go into the therapy session and say, "Did you receive my email?" She might be waiting for you to bring it up.
If yes, then you can say, "What did you think about it?"
If no, then you can give her highlights from it.
Therapy is supposed to be your "safe place". Try to allow yourself to be comfortable there.

Just to respond to your first point, my therapist diagnosed me. I think the main thing a psychiatrist can do that a therapist cannot is prescribe medication.
And I agree on your suggestions of just asking "Did you get my e-mail?" I encountered this once with my T and was concerned about lack of response, when it turned out they hadn't had a chance to read it (and apologized), so I just shared what was in it.
