Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Over 20 years ago, God put a desire in my heart to start MANNAFULL Counseling and Consulting. I wanted to see people restored and transformed from the impact of rejection, insecurity, low self-esteem, hurt, fear, and brokenness. I knew, personally, what it felt like to be in bondage to my own thoughts and the thoughts of others. However, when I became willing to do the work, face the truth and take steps forward, I experienced freedom, joy and peace.

~Life is a balance of holding on and letting go~ Rumi

Are you living a balanced life? What is your story?

Often, our path in life gets off balance when we encounter major life transitions, work stress, relationships struggles, family conflicts, complicated grief and loss and addictions. When we experience existential concerns, identity crisis, cultural distress, it affects us deeply, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and often stuck. Seeking the right help is pivotal in working through, accessing meaning behind the suffering and looking ahead with hope.

Hi, I am licensed to provide both mental health and addiction counseling in NC with 20 years of experience. I am trained in best practice modalities of CBT, DBT, EMDR, CPT, MI, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy which I utilize to assist my clients gain insight into their struggles, learn to modulate emotions, practice healthy coping skills to manage symptoms, problem solve challenges and manifest in sustaining healthy lifestyles. Additionally, my lived experience as a first generation South Asian immigrant, a working parent who has processed her own life transitions and stuck points to seek meaningful growth, is a part of my authentic approach in counseling where I seek to empower and guide my clients in their healing journey. I am trans and LGBTQIA+ informed and committed to providing affirming, inclusive care.

I specialize working with older teens, adults, and couples.

My therapeutic style honors trauma informed, non-judgmental, culturally competent, compassionate, therapeutic guidance to assist you with engaging in a purposeful, vibrant life!

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Winston-Salem, NC


I help people who can’t seem to find themselves. Those who have changed so much for others to feel more comfortable, they don’t even remember who they are. Clients sit on my couch for different reasons, but the struggle is often the same. Hiding breeds guilt, resentment, and feeling like an imposter. My own journey (which is different than yours will be) has positioned me to know the value of cultivating authenticity.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in North Carolina

Searching for therapists in North Carolina means choosing from a wide range of licensed therapists across urban, suburban, and rural areas. The right fit may depend on what you want support with, such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, or life transitions. As you compare North Carolina therapists, look for training and specialties that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy.

Your options for therapy in North Carolina may look different in Charlotte, Raleigh, Asheville, or smaller communities across the state. Some people prefer meeting with a therapist in person, while others choose virtual sessions for schedule flexibility or access to more therapists licensed in North Carolina. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and areas of focus before you book.

The cost of mental health care in North Carolina varies, and therapy can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists and counselors in North Carolina who match your preferences, take your insurance, and are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see your estimated cost before booking.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
