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.

Jason Powell
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CST
I work with individuals and couples navigating sexual concerns, infidelity, and shifts in trust, desire, or emotional closeness that leave relationships feeling strained or uncertain. Many still want intimacy and connection, but feel unsure how to move toward one another without repeating familiar patterns. Sessions focus on what unfolds between people in real time, with attention to responsiveness, clarity, and emotional presence.
