About Me

Hi, I’m Brad.

Here’s a little about me:

Hello, I'm Brad, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with over 5 years of experience. My counseling journey began in drug and alcohol rehabs, leading me from a Counselor Tech to a Clinical Director. I expanded my expertise as a Program Director for a Dual Diagnosis Treatment Team, overseeing three counties in Western PA, while pursuing my second master's.

Prior to my counseling career, I spent 20 years in corporate settings, specializing in institutional asset management and venture capital. A series of personal challenges redirected my path, prompting me to assist others.

Beyond my professional life, I'm passionate about sports, motorcycle riding (nearly 40 years), and extensive travels for fishing, hiking, history, and culture. Today, I leverage my diverse experiences to help individuals facing challenges like stress, anxiety, addiction, and depression.

Taking the first step toward therapy is courageous, and I commend you for it. Let's work together on your journey to well-being and personal growth.
