My work centers around grief, PTSD, cultural and racial identity, faith-integrated therapy, and life transitions.
I use a blend of ACT, somatic-based approaches, Emotionally-Centered CBT (ECBT), DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Structural Family Therapy. These modalities help build emotional resilience, navigate life transitions, and repair relational systems, all through a trauma-informed and culturally grounded lens. I also integrate faith-based and spiritual practices when they align with the client’s beliefs, offering a space that honors both clinical wisdom and ancestral or spiritual healing.

We as humans aren't meant to go through difficult times alone. When your resources seem low, a therapist offers consistent, reliable opportunities to work toward your healing. We might be a good fit for you if you are looking for empowerment through creative expression and more integrative therapies. As art therapists and counselors, I believe art and imagination can address our bodies' biological survival responses in ways rational thinking and talk therapy can't.

Be very careful of the narratives that shape your identity, as they can ultimately define your reality. Narratives have a powerful influence on how we interpret our experiences and guide our actions. Unfortunately, an unhelpful narrative can limit our choices, obscure alternative options, and impede personal growth, leading to a sense of insurmountable problems. Therefore, it is crucial to examine the stories we tell ourselves and reshape them to live a more liberated and meaningful life.

Hi, I'm Swapomthi. I know beginning therapy can be overwhelming. It can also be one of the best decisions you make to put yourself and your mental health first. Yes I'm a therapist, but I'm also a woman of color, a mother, a first-generation American, and a person who has experienced loss. All these roles have shaped how I see the world and how I approach counseling. I work hard to create a nurturing and supportive space to help you feel at ease as we start this process of therapy. I believe that you are your own best expert and we can walk this path towards wellness together.

Many of the individuals I work with are young adults in their 20s and 30s navigating the unique challenges of their generations. You might come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, burnout, or a persistent sense of not being “enough.” If you're in this life stage, you may be figuring out how to manage the pressures of adulthood—navigating career uncertainty, transitioning into married life or parenthood, or confronting the lasting impact of childhood wounds. Identity exploration, family conflict, relationship issues, and pressure around achievement are common themes I address in my work.

I’m here for those who feel overlooked, underestimated, or stuck in a cycle of "holding it together" when it feels impossible—the single mom discovering her strength, the man who’s never had space to be vulnerable, the teenager who lost a parent and feels lost. Whether you’re tired of being the strong one, holding it all together, or navigating life after feeling confined—by expectations, circumstances, or mistakes—you deserve to be seen, heard, and supported. My passion is creating a space where you can show up as you are and begin your healing journey.

Are you looking for an inclusive, culturally aware, and relationally focused therapist? Many of the concerns that clients bring up in therapy often involve challenges related to their various identities (e.g., race/ethnicity, gender, sexuality, body size, etc.) and/or the quality of their relationships. When describing their experiences with previous therapists, many clients have expressed things to me like, “my therapist just didn’t get me", and as a result, find themselves wanting to be seen and affirmed. As part of my practice, it’s important to me that I hold a deep understanding of your story, worldview, and experiences.

I specialize in helping people who have experienced chronic, layered trauma that isn’t always easy to name, but is deeply felt.
