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.
