Clinical Expertise

Eva is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Ohio who earned her Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Cincinnati. She integrates Person-Centered Therapy with evidence-based approaches such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), to create a safe, supportive, and inclusive space for clients to build self-awareness and develop effective coping skills. Eva works with both adolescents and adults, focusing on treating depression, anxiety, trauma, self-image concerns, and women’s issues. Her approach encourages clients to examine how cultural influences, societal expectations, relationships, and work environments shape their internal experiences and impact their well-being. Eva is especially passionate about demystifying the counseling process and offering psychoeducation that empowers clients to make meaningful, informed changes in their lives.

Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Eva is deeply committed to social justice and the pursuit of equity within and beyond the therapeutic space. She approaches her work with an understanding of how systemic oppression, cultural marginalization, and historical trauma impact mental health, access to care, and a person’s sense of self. Eva creates a collaborative, affirming environment where clients from all backgrounds feel empowered to explore their experiences and define their own healing path. She has worked with individuals from diverse identities and life contexts—including differences in socioeconomic status, nationality, ethnicity, immigration status, religion, gender identity, sexuality, neurodivergence, and disability. Eva views cultural identity not as a barrier but as a rich source of strength, resilience, and insight. Her therapeutic approach is rooted in cultural humility, and she is dedicated to ongoing learning and advocacy in support of justice, inclusion, and meaningful change.

Training

Eva holds a strong foundation in psychology and mental health that she brings to her counseling work, obtaining a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Cincinnati and a Bachelor’s in Psychology and Systems/Behavioral Neuroscience from The Ohio State University. Eva has experience providing individual therapy to adults and transitional youth through IKRON in Cincinnati, OH, supporting clients through a wide range of mental health and substance use challenges. She also co-facilitated various group therapy sessions, including DBT skills groups, CBT-based depression groups, intensive outpatient substance use groups, and women’s support groups. Eva also completed a fellowship at the University of Cincinnati’s SAFE-T, where she expanded her expertise in substance use and integrative health. She developed and led continuing education trainings for professionals on local drug use trends and evidence-based interventions, collaborated with interdisciplinary teams, and completed a capstone research project presented to fellowship leadership. These experiences strengthened Eva’s clinical insight, group facilitation skills, and commitment to holistic, evidence-informed care. Eva is also trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which helps clients process through traumas and remove adverse emotions that create barriers to healing.
