Hi Caroline - there are many causes of leaf loss and dead wood in ash. Without photos, it can be hard to make a determination. Do you have any photos of the tree in question?

To find arborists in your area, you can visit https://www.treesaregood.org/ and search by zip. When you call, you can ask if they are familiar with EAB, or have taken the Forest Pest Detector training.
