Sarah Straus, PsyD, LPCC, NCC
You love your partner — but lately, it feels like you're stuck in survival mode.
You care about your relationship, but lately it feels like you’re running a household together more than you’re really in it together. The kids, the logistics, the never-ending to-do list — it all seems to come before the two of you.
Maybe one of you is the organizer and peacekeeper, always tracking moods, plans, and potential blow-ups. The other might shut down, get defensive, or pull away. The same arguments circle back, or you avoid them altogether. You miss feeling like a team, but you’re not sure how to get back there.
I work with couples who feel stuck in patterns of over-functioning, under-connecting, and quietly building resentments. In our work, we slow things down so both of you can feel heard, understood, and less alone in the relationship.
Therapy is a place to untangle what’s happening between you, repair the trust that’s been worn thin, and learn how to turn toward each other again — so your relationship feels steadier, and your home feels more peaceful for everyone in it.
