A Different Lens Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, LPC, ADHD-CCSP, NCC
With both personal and clinical experience in anxiety, ADHD, and the process of exploring sexual orientation, I understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors can intertwine in ways that leave you feeling stuck or overwhelmed. I use evidence-based strategies to help you break through the patterns that keep you from living fully and authentically.
My approach is conversational and genuinely human. I care about who you are today and who you’re becoming, and I offer a space where you can reflect, experiment, and grow at your own pace. Together, we explore your experiences from fresh perspectives so you can better understand your needs and create meaningful change.
I draw from Gestalt, person-centered, and mindfulness-based foundations, while integrating CBT, DBT-informed skills, somatic awareness, and attachment-focused work. I view mental health through a whole-person lens and collaborate with you as the expert on your own life — offering guidance, education, and support as you navigate whatever brought you here.

Salutaris Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
What makes my practice unique is the combination of real-life experience, clinical training, and a deeply multicultural perspective. Having been born in Texas and raised in Brazil and Chile, I understand what it means to move between cultures, languages, identities, and expectations. I work with individuals navigating life’s challenges—whether that’s anxiety, depression, coming out, low self-esteem, infidelity, narcissism, relationship or interpersonal problems, or just the day-to-day weight of being human. My style is honest, supportive, and grounded in real connection. Therapy is about becoming more whole—more in touch with your truest self. My role is to walk alongside you as you explore, heal, and grow. It’s never too late to find peace and contentment.

Cape Coral is one of Florida's fastest-growing cities, a sprawling canal city in Lee County whose rapid expansion has been driven by retirees, seasonal residents, and younger families relocating from higher cost-of-living states. The city was among the hardest hit by Hurricane Ian in 2022, and climate-related anxiety, disaster trauma, and the psychological stress of rebuilding remain significant mental health concerns for many residents. The city's heavily suburban, car-dependent geography means therapy is primarily delivered through private practices and telehealth, as public transit options are limited. Common therapy themes include grief, relationship stress, anxiety, adjustment challenges for new residents, and the mental health pressures of managing life in a rapidly developing, disaster-affected coastal community.
