Dr. Sarah StrausLicensed Professional Counselor, NCC

About

I specialize in couples therapy and relational work. Over time, many relationships settle into roles that create distance—over-functioning, conflict avoidance, gridlock, keeping score, walking on eggshells, or shutting down to cope. I support couples navigating parenting transitions, neurodivergence (ADHD/autism), military life, addiction recovery, and betrayal, with a focus on rebuilding communication, trust, and closeness. I also work with individuals facing relationship stress, trauma, burnout, and identity shifts. I use the Gottman Method with a structured start: assessment, feedback, and a clear roadmap. Sessions are practical and skills-based, with guided practice in-session and tailored homework to support progress between sessions. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative.
