Therapist & Mental Health Counselor Near You in Hollywood, FL
I provide in-person counseling in Plantation and throughout Broward County, with telehealth available to adults across Florida for clients who would rather meet from home. My approach is evidence-based and collaborative, with every session led directly by me. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 10 years of experience, and my goal is to help you build skills you can rely on independently, long after counseling ends.
I work with Hollywood adults facing anxiety, stress, and burnout, trauma, relationship challenges, major life transitions, and other difficult or overwhelming situations, using approaches like CBT, ACT, and CPT to build tools that fit what you’re working through. I also have experience working with veterans and first responders, and professionals in high-pressure environments. Learn more about all of my services.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer counseling for Hollywood residents?
Yes. While my office is based in Plantation, a short drive from Hollywood, I work with adults throughout Hollywood and the surrounding Broward County area, both in person and by telehealth.

Yes. RPM Counseling offers telehealth counseling throughout Florida, so Hollywood clients can meet with me from home or work without needing to travel to the office.
How do I know if I need counseling?
Counseling can help with a wide range of struggles, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, or major life changes. If you’re finding it hard to cope with your emotions or manage daily tasks, counseling may be a good fit.
What can I expect in a counseling session?
Sessions are a safe, confidential space where you can talk through what’s going on in your life. I listen closely, offer support and guidance, and help you build practical strategies for coping and moving forward.
How long does therapy take?
This depends on your goals and what you’re working through. Some clients benefit from shorter-term, focused counseling, while others prefer ongoing support for more complex or long-standing concerns. We’ll figure out the right approach together.
Is counseling confidential?
Yes. What you share in session stays between us, with a few exceptions required by law, which I’ll walk you through in your consent forms before our first session.
