I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, hold a post-masters certification in Marriage, Couples and Family Counseling, completed Basic Family Mediation certification training, and am a lifelong learner. I continue to take courses, attend workshops and other training to ensure my skills are up-to-date and I am always well-prepared to support my clients. With over 25 years of counseling experience, my areas of expertise include working with adolescents, families, young adults and couples in a counseling relationship in the areas of career planning, improving relationships, reducing stress and anxiety, dealing with grief and loss, gender identity issues, child custody issues, parenting issues, conflict resolution, anger management, domestic violence, and more.
My passion is helping people achieve their dreams and live happy, fulfilling lives. Counseling is providing support to individuals who reach out, helping them set goals; recognize and address barriers; examine how they are getting in their own way and how they are letting others impede their success and happiness. I enjoy helping my clients set goals and take action steps to move in the direction they want to go. My counseling style is supportive and non-judgmental, helping the client move from being problem focused to being solution focused. My goal is to help clients find a therapeutic process that works best for them, depending on the issue they are dealing with and their unique personalities and needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. Congratulations for reaching out for help. This is a first big step in getting the support you need to gain power over your struggles and to begin living the life you have always dreamed of living.
I look forward to working with you in this new journey.

Dr. Brady and I just have a great rapport. She has a way of giving me tools to get through what I see as difficult situations. She also helps me validate my feelings that the things I’m feeling are justified, and she helps me work through speaking out when things are unjust. You don’t have to be crazy to benefit from therapy. It’s like being able to talk to someone without it being your best friend who may be just gets tired of hearing the same old thing.

Dr. Brady has been a huge help to me. I worked with a few other therapists here on betterhelp and in person who were great but just weren't the right fit for me. Dr. Brady is the first therapist I've worked with that has really helped me feel heard and understood. She's the first one who gives me things to work on, like worksheets in the app and things to read to really help make things need to work on stick with me so I can use those same tools in real life. Dr. Brady is so down to earth and easy to talk to too, I really can't say enough good things about Dr. Brady, she's amazing!

I have appreciated Dr Brady’s thoughtful approach. She has provided wise guidance. She helped me escape and name the “emotional distress cycle”. I’ve appreciated the worksheets she’s provided to guide and practice what I’ve learned. I look forward to continuing working with her as I learn to process this difficult time in my life.

I have been wary of starting counseling again because of a bad past experience, but Dr. Brady is a match made for me. I don’t know if it was the questionnaire and the expertise of BetterHelp or just God’s good intervention, but I
am extremely grateful for her either way.

I am in the midst of a very complicated situation, and signed up for BetterHelp to get some guidance. Before my first video session with Dr. Brady, she asked me about my background and what’s going on my life life right now, and I ended up sending her a pages-long message explaining it all. When we talked for the first time in the video session, it was clear to me that she not only actually read all of it, but in just the first 10 minutes or so, I could tell that she had taken the time to really understand it. I could see that she just “got” how my background tied into my current life circumstances, and I immediately felt reassured and confident that she already knew how to make sense of all of it and for the first time in a long time, I feel like my life is manageable and I can finally get better!

I’ve only been working with Dr. Brady for a few weeks now and things have been much better. She’s helped me remember to focus on the bright-side of things I can control and to not focus on things I cannot. I look forward to working with her much more until I can use the tools given on my own.
