How I can help
Sometimes the effects of trauma, chronic illness, pain, and prolonged stress show up in ways that are difficult to put into words.
You might feel exhausted despite resting, find yourself constantly anticipating what could go wrong, struggle with everyday demands, or move between feeling overwhelmed and feeling very little at all.
Perhaps you've spent so long caring for others, getting through difficult circumstances, or simply keeping things together that there's little room left for yourself.
You don't need to be in crisis to seek support. Therapy can offer space to attend to what's been difficult, make sense of your experiences, and explore what might feel different.
My Approach
My work is collaborative, relational, and grounded in curiosity about how our experiences shape us. We pay attention to how stress and trauma show up in the body, including patterns of tension, bracing, protection, or disconnection. Through gentle exploration and attention to your body's responses, we make room for new experiences, greater flexibility, and connection. Your history, relationships, culture, and the broader social and political conditions of the world are all part of the picture.
And no, you won't have to do any breathing exercises or be "calm" or "regulated". I promise!
Who I Work With
I work with adults (18+), and everyone is welcome!
I have specific experience supporting community organizers, care-givers, artists, front line social service and health care workers, queer/trans folks and immigrants/refugees, as well as people living with PMDD, endometriosis and other chronic health conditions.
My training and clinical experience is particularly useful for trauma work (shock, single incident and complex/developmental); chronic illness/disease, symptoms of anxiety, depression & burn out; finding safety, vitality, and presence after experiences of overwhelm; and restoring rhythms of rest, movement, and connection.
I'm Aga (she/her), a queer social worker, somatic psychotherapist, and educator based in Toronto (Dish with One Spoon territory).
Born on the Baltic shores of communist Poland, I grew up in a working-class immigrant and refugee community. My experiences of migration, belonging, chronic illness, caregiving, and community work continue to shape how I understand care, healing, and our relationships with one another.
Before entering clinical practice in 2015, I spent over a decade in frontline social services, including harm reduction, street outreach, housing advocacy, and community mental health.
I also teach in post-secondary mental health and addiction education and have a longstanding creative practice rooted in the craft traditions of my Kurpie ancestors.
