My clients describe me as:

I am empathetic, funny, and brutally honest with my clients. I am easy to talk to. I lead with provoking questions and invite deeper self-exploration.

Something to know about my approach is:

Therapy is not meant to be lifelong. I want to create and hold a non-judgmental space for my clients to explore their most authentic self. With the right tools you can create new pathways, break your own barriers, and heal from your trauma.

Together, we will:

We will discuss all the intricate details that make you who you are, today. That means no judgement, no wishing to be different. I stand true to the roots of therapy where you are the expert of your life, and I, a source of guidance.

I specialize in working with people who:

I work with people who struggle to find meaning in their lives. Who cannot define happiness or are not certain if they have ever felt happy. My practice is eclectic. I utilize EMDR, mindfulness, and cognitive behavior therapy.

I became a therapist because:

I had to create my own healing path after being born and raised in a conservative culture that did not understand or believe in mental health/healing.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I am a traveller at heart and want to create comfort and authenticity wherever life takes me. Online therapy combines both of my passions in life.

More about me and my practice:

"Nava" Represents "New" in Sinhalese. My practice is built on breaking cultural barriers, inviting inclusivity and abundance. If I can help just one other individual find peace and happiness, I would succeed.
