Person-Centered Therapy in Plantation, Florida
Person-centered therapy is built on the belief that you already hold the insight and capacity you need to move forward, and that the counselor’s job is to provide a nonjudgmental, collaborative relationship that gives that capacity room to grow.
Rather than directing you toward a predetermined outcome, I follow your pace, your priorities, and your sense of what matters, and I stay present with whatever you bring into the room.
I offer individualized, mental health counseling for adults in Plantation and Broward County in person, and throughout Florida by telehealth.
Why Choose Us
How I Use Person-Centered Therapy
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 10 years of experience, and a person-centered foundation runs underneath every other approach I use.
My background in crisis response, including my time as a Marine Corps Officer, taught me how much trust and communication matter when someone is deciding whether to actually open up.
You deserve a space where you can be yourself without judgment or pressure to have it all figured out, and that’s the environment I aim to create in every session. Read more about why clients choose to work with me.
What Person-Centered Therapy Can Help With
This approach works well for clients who want a space to process what’s happening in their life without feeling steered toward a specific conclusion, including people navigating anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, or a major life transition.
It’s often especially valuable early in counseling, when building trust and feeling truly heard matters as much as any specific technique.
What Person-Centered Therapy Looks Like in Session
Sessions follow your lead. I listen closely, reflect back what I’m hearing, and ask questions that help you get clearer on your own thoughts and feelings, rather than telling you what to think or do.
This doesn’t mean sessions lack structure entirely, since I’ll often bring in practical tools from other approaches when it’s useful, but the foundation stays the same: you’re the expert on your own life, and my role is to support you in trusting that.
Benefits of Person-Centered Therapy
Clients often describe feeling genuinely heard, sometimes for the first time, and notice a growing sense of self-trust as counseling continues. Because RPM Counseling is my practice, you work directly with me rather than being passed between a rotating team of providers, which many clients find builds a stronger sense of consistency and safety over time.

A free consultation is the best place to start if you’re deciding whether this style of counseling matches what you’re looking for.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does person-centered therapy mean sessions have no structure?
Not entirely. While the relationship and your pace lead the way, I often bring in practical tools from other approaches when they’re useful, based on what you’re working through.
Is this approach only for people just starting therapy?
No. While it’s especially valuable early on, a person-centered foundation supports counseling at every stage, regardless of how long you’ve been working with a provider.
Will you tell me what to do?
No. My role is to help you get clearer on your own thoughts, feelings, and options, not to direct you toward a specific decision.
Is this available by telehealth?
Yes. Telehealth counseling is available throughout Florida, in addition to in-person sessions in Plantation and Broward County.
