Life can be overwhelming at times, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. With over 25 years of experience as a clinical psychologist I am here to support you on your journey toward healing and personal growth. I specialize in evidence-based therapies such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Family Systemic Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Whether you are struggling with anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself.
I bring a compassionate, evidence-based approach to therapy. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where you can explore challenges, heal from past experiences, and develop meaningful strategies for lasting change.
Reaching out for support is a courageous step, and I am here to walk alongside you. If you’re ready to take that step, you can contact me at +64 7 306 0999 schedule an appointment. Session can be offered in English, Sinhalese or Tamil. You deserve to feel heard, understood, and empowered—and I look forward to supporting you.
