Welcome! My name is Dr. Annie Buxbaum. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have a Doctorate in Human and Organizational Psych. Are you sick of having the same fight over and over and have noticed resentment building? Let’s work on communication and find ways to get out of that cycle and make positive changes with your partner. My passion also includes supporting clients who are pregnant, postpartum, or struggling with miscarriages and infertility. I am skilled with Brainspotting to support clients wanting to work on Trauma.
I believe there is room for everybody in therapy, even if it feels like it's the last thing you want to do. I love to support my clients by making plans and focusing on goals while also processing what is currently going on. When working with couples I utilize the Gottman Method.
It can be scary when our relationships are not running as smoothly as they once were and it can feel very scary if that is happening after having a baby or even after retirement. Dynamics change and I would like to support you in it being a positive change. Let's set up a consultation (by phone or video) to see if we are a good fit.

For couples work I like to start with Gottman Therapy framework that utilizes tools that support a new way of interacting in your relationship. We will develop a treatment plan together that address your specific relationship needs since no two relationships are the same! If we were to work individually I often work from a DBT, CBT and ACT lens.
