About me
Your health is my passion
I am a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario, licensed with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). Based in Ottawa, I provide virtual individual psychotherapy across Ontario, offering online therapy in English and Sinhalese.
I believe that even in the midst of stress, emotional pain, or life transitions, it is possible to reconnect with meaning, purpose, and inner stability. I support adults seeking help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, identity exploration, and personal growth, as well as those interested in integrating mindfulness and spirituality into therapy.

My therapeutic approach is integrative and mindfulness-based. I draw from evidence-based modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment-based therapy, and existential psychotherapy. Mindfulness is a central component of my work, helping clients develop greater awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience when facing life’s challenges.
With over 15 years of experience as a former Buddhist monk, I bring a calm, compassionate, and grounded presence to therapy. When appropriate and at your request, I can gently integrate spiritual or religious perspectives, including Buddhist-informed psychotherapy, in a way that respects your values and beliefs.
Why work with me
My work is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and unconditional acceptance. I strive to create a safe and supportive therapeutic space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. Therapy is a collaborative process, and together we will build on your existing strengths to support meaningful and sustainable change.
I welcome new clients seeking online psychotherapy in Ontario. If you are looking for a Registered Psychotherapist offering virtual mindfulness-based therapy, I would be honoured to support you. I look forward to meeting you and beginning this journey together.
