Beneficence Center for Counseling provides online therapy in Maryland and Washington, DC. I spent many years as an educator in public schools and as a counselor. Now I have the privilege to devote my full time to mental health counseling. My focus is to help families and individuals navigate through life's challenges.

I'd love to be your counselor - whether you would like to do pre-marital/couples counseling, navigate divorce/recent breakup, consciously uncouple/improve co-parenting dynamic, manage anxiety, or focus on self-work. My clients can expect to come away with the tools and strategies to help them navigate life's difficult times.

Psychoeducation is at the heart of my counseling services. Counseling services are adapted to each client with an emphasis on cognitive behavioral therapy. Schedule your first session online. I look forward to working with you!

All clients begin with a structured intake session where we explore what brings you to therapy, your history, and the goals you’d like to work toward. My approach is collaborative and focused, creating a supportive space where you feel heard while we identify clear, meaningful treatment goals together.

For couples, the process includes a separate individual consultation with your partner before meeting jointly. This helps ensure our work together is balanced, thoughtful, and productive from the start.
