Dual-career couples often come to therapy saying:

• “We barely have time for each other anymore.”

• “We argue about the same things over and over.”

• “We feel more like roommates than partners.”

• “One of us always feels like they’re doing more.”

• “We’re successful professionally, but disconnected emotionally.”

• “We love each other, but we don’t feel close.”

When both partners are ambitious and hardworking, relationships can quietly shift from connection to logistics.

Conversations become transactional. Intimacy fades. Resentment builds. Emotional safety erodes.

And no one feels truly seen.

Many professional women carry an additional layer of complexity:
they are the primary earner—or significantly out-earn their partner.

This can bring up:

• Guilt for succeeding
• Pressure to stay strong
• Fear of hurting your partner’s confidence
• Power imbalances
• Unspoken resentment
• Feeling responsible for everything
• Difficulty receiving support
• Emotional withdrawal from one or both partners

You may find yourself over-functioning at home the same way you do at work.

Over time, this dynamic can quietly damage intimacy.

Most professional couples don’t struggle because they don’t care.

They struggle because:

• Stress keeps nervous systems activated

• Burnout reduces emotional availability

• Childhood attachment patterns resurface under pressure

• Conflict feels unsafe, so it’s avoided—or escalated

• One partner pursues while the other withdraws

• Both partners feel unheard

This creates a cycle:

One reaches → the other retreats → tension rises → connection decreases.

Without support, this pattern becomes entrenched.

I specialize in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an evidence-based approach grounded in attachment science.

EFT doesn’t teach surface communication tricks.

It helps you understand what’s happening beneath your arguments.

Together, we identify:

• your negative cycle
• your emotional triggers
• your unmet attachment needs
• how fear shows up as anger, shutdown, or criticism

Then we work to:

• Create emotional safety
• Rebuild trust
• Increase vulnerability
• Strengthen secure attachment
• Restore intimacy
• Help each partner feel chosen again

EFT has decades of research showing lasting improvements in relationship satisfaction.

It helps couples move from:

Defensiveness → Understanding Distance → Connection Conflict → Collaboration Loneliness → Emotional closeness

I work with couples navigating:

• Dual-career stress
• Breadwinner dynamics
• Emotional disconnection
• Repeated conflict
• Parenting strain
• Infidelity or betrayal
• Life transitions
• Burnout
• Attachment injuries

Whether you are married, partnered, or on the brink of separation, therapy offers a structured space to slow down and reconnect.

I bring together:

• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
• Trauma-informed care
• EMDR for relational wounds
• Internal Family Systems (IFS)
• Nervous system regulation

This allows us to address not only what’s happening between you, but what each of you carries into the relationship.
