An Attachment-Focused Approach to Individual Therapy

At Magniflora Psychotherapy, Dr. Alex takes an attachment-focused approach to therapy, recognizing that the ways we relate to ourselves and others are shaped by our relationships, experiences, and the worlds we have grown up in. Together, you can explore the personal, generational, and cultural experiences that have influenced your patterns, beliefs, and ways of connecting.

As a licensed psychologist and sex therapist, Dr. Alex brings a relational and emotionally focused perspective to her work. Her approach draws from Emotionally Focused Therapy and creates space to better understand what is happening beneath the surface—not just what you're experiencing, but why certain patterns may keep showing up and how you might want to respond differently.
