I am an independently licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) and a Chemical Dependency Counselor Assistant (CDCA) in the state of Ohio. I received my Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology from Bowling Green State University. I treat older teens, college age and adults of all ages.

While I am the trained and skilled professional of mental health treatment, I believe that my clients are the experts of themselves. I trust that we need to bring our expertise together to collaborate on how we are going to help you to move closer to your own goals and values. I provide a non-judgmental and safe environment where I teach skills and provide a lot of education. 

I suggest and offer evidence-based treatments and mix that with what my client wants. I offer a lot of education and teach a lot of coping skills and tools for clients to try in sessions and use between sessions. I am more interactive. I plan to support and validate you WHILE challenging you and guiding you. I will hold you accountable. Sometimes I am direct, or I challenge my clients, but in a respectful therapeutic manner. It is my job to give you different perspectives. It is my job to help you be more introspective and explore your patterns and your past. Ultimately though, you are paying me to work for you. I am looking forward to meeting you and helping you TRANSFORM and THRIVE!

Purposes/Goals of Therapy: To help you build a Life Worth Living. To help you make the changes you want to make and to help you better align with your own goals and values. To decrease symptoms that are negatively affecting your life and to increase your functioning.

Trained in the following, to various degrees, and utilize depending on the client’s needs: 

• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
• Mindfulness/Grounding
• Mindful Movement-based Interventions
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Motivational Interviewing (MI)
• Solution-Focused Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy
• Radically Open Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (RO-DBT)
• Prolonged Exposure (PE) Therapy for trauma/PTSD
• Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma/PTSD
• Level II EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Processing)  Treatment trained for trauma/PTSD (trained by an EMDRIA approved training company and working on my certification). I utilize EMDR for more than just trauma. There are EMDR protocols that can be successfully used for treating phobias, OCD, chemical addictions, and addictive behaviors.

Asia has been my therapist for a little more than a year now, and she has genuinely helped me change my life. She’s sharp, funny, and overall incredibly accepting and understanding. Her office is comfortable, her presence never left me feeling judged or misunderstood by any means. I personally highly recommend her as a therapist." -Anonymous
