Trauma-informed attachment-based therapy rooted in life experience and empathy
Therapy for those who look like they’re coping but don’t feel okay inside.
I’m Dagmara, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) based in Toronto. I work with adults and teens who feel emotionally overwhelmed, self-critical, disconnected, or stuck in repeating patterns, often rooted in early relationships, trauma, or life transitions.
People often seek therapy when something in their life stops working. Relationships feel strained, emotions feel too intense or shut down, or past experiences begin to show up in unexpected ways. My approach is trauma-informed, psychodynamic, and attachment-based, focusing on the emotional and relational roots of distress rather than symptom management alone.
Therapy is paced, collaborative, and grounded in safety. Together, we explore how early experiences, attachment patterns, and nervous system responses have shaped the way you relate to yourself and others — so you can feel more regulated, connected, and at ease in your life and relationships.
I offer in-person therapy near Christie subway station in Toronto and virtual therapy across Ontario.
How it all started
At some point, instead of pulling myself together, I chose the path inward. Toward emotions I dismissed for so long, toward my truth. Most of us live disconnected. From our bodies. From our emotions. From truth.
We keep going. We perform. We fulfill expectations. But inside - emptiness…or chaos.
You don’t know where to start
It’s ok if you don’t know.
You don’t have to have a plan.
You don’t have to make decisions right now.
It’s enough that you sense something inside you has shifted.
Sometimes the first step is just a conversation.
No pressure, no agenda.
This might be the right moment, or just the beginning.
The space for You
There are no quick fixes here.
No pretending that everyone can be healed.
If you’re looking for a space where you can simply be with all that you carry, nothing to prove, no filters, no pressure.
This is the space for You. An invitation to return to yourself.
