I am a registered psychotherapist based in Ottawa, offering services in English and Sinhalese to clients struggling with mental health conditions, emotional, and spiritual challenges. Sometimes life can feel complicated. So you are not alone if you are needing help. Countless things happen that interrupt our ability to be happy and be free. My passion is to help you to live a more meaningful and satisfying life in healthy ways. This may begin with the relationship you have with yourself or with others in your life. I have a particular interest in working with clients looking to go deeper into their spirituality in discovering their meaning and purpose for their lives.

I have an integrated approach to my therapy. My main interest is in mindfulness-based therapeutic interventions including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Having walked the path of a Buddhist monk, I bring a compassionate and genuine approach to each client, fostering empathy, complete acceptance, and authenticity in our interactions.

My intention is to work collaboratively with each person and honor their existing strengths. Supporting you in becoming more of who you already are a great honor for me and hopefully a beautiful process for you. Let's get started! I am taking on new clients and I look forward to meeting you.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. My practice is based in Ottawa. I offer virtual individual psychotherapy in both English and Sinhalese.

I believe that regardless of life’s complexities, finding meaning and purpose is attainable. Whether you’re seeking support for personal growth, navigating relationships, or delving into spirituality, I am here to accompany you on your journey.

My therapeutic approach is deeply integrated, drawing from mindfulness-based interventions. I integrate therapeutic modalities such as attachment theory, cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness, and existential therapy among others. Through mindfulness, we cultivate awareness and empower the mind to navigate life’s challenges with clarity and wisdom.

I have a Master’s degree in Counselling and Spirituality from Saint-Paul University in Ottawa and Buddhist studies from the University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka. I have years of experience providing spiritual counseling in hospital settings. My spiritual path as a former Buddhist monk within the Theravada Tradition gifted me with invaluable wisdom, emphasizing the pursuit of happiness through self-discovery. Transitioning from monk life, I delved into Western psychotherapy, seeking to integrate my Eastern insights into guiding others towards self-healing.

My sessions are characterized by compassion, authenticity, and empathy. I approach each client with complete acceptance, fostering an environment of trust and exploration. Together, we will work collaboratively, honoring your existing strengths and empowering you to become more of who you truly are.

I warmly welcome new clients. Let’s embark on this transformative journey together – I look forward to meeting you.
