You love each other—but stress keeps getting in the way.

Work demands are high. Energy is low. Conversations turn tense, short, or quiet. One or both of you feels overwhelmed, shut down, or stretched too thin. Even when things aren’t “bad,” something feels off.

Burnout doesn’t stay at work. It follows you home—and into your relationship.

This doesn’t mean your relationship is failing.

It means you’ve been carrying a lot.

Many couples in healthcare, education, leadership, first response, and caregiving roles struggle with connection—not because they don’t care, but because stress and weak boundaries slowly take over.

Wanting support is a sign of commitment, not weakness.

Hi, I’m Angelique

Hi, I’m a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman Method Level 1 couples work.

I help couples who carry high responsibility slow down, reconnect, and feel like a team again—without blame, pressure, or endless “communication tips” that don’t stick.

My role is to offer guidance, safety, and structure so real change can happen.

Work With Me

Here’s how couples therapy works:

  • I help calm emotional overload and create safety so conversations don’t spiral.

  • I help identify what keeps you stuck beneath conflict, distance, or shutdown.

  • I use EFT and Gottman tools to strengthen communication, boundaries, and repair.

Who This Is For

Couples therapy with me supports:

  • Partners in high-stress, high-responsibility careers (i.e. law, healthcare, higher education)

  • Couples feeling disconnected, tense, or burned out

  • Partners struggling with boundaries around work, family, or caregiving

  • Couples who love each other but feel stuck in the same patterns

  • Premarital couples who want a strong, steady foundation before marriageWhat sets us apart isn’t just our process—it’s the intention behind it. We take time to understand, explore, and create with purpose at every turn.

Couples often notice:

  • Calmer, more respectful conversations

  • Less tension and emotional shutdown

  • Clearer boundaries around stress and work

  • Stronger teamwork and connection

  • More joy and ease in the relationship

What’s at stake?

Without support, stress and burnout keep building. Distance grows. Small issues turn into long-term patterns

With the right support, couples can protect their relationship, deepen connection, and move forward with more clarity and care.

You don’t have to wait until things fall apart.

Whether you’re feeling disconnected or planning ahead, couples therapy can be a reset—a way to care for your relationship before stress takes more than it already has.

When you’re ready, we can take the next step together.
