Entrepreneur Coupleships
For Entrepreneurial Couples Navigating Growth, Stress, and Connection
Your relationship is the center of your life, yet when you’re building businesses, raising families, and managing high-stakes decisions, it’s easy for connection to take a back seat. Many entrepreneurial couples find themselves cycling between teamwork and tension, longing for more clarity, communication, and steadiness.
As an entrepreneur for more than 25 years, I understand these challenges from the inside and support entrepreneurial couples who want to grow together rather than drift apart.
I combine NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model) with Differentiation-based couples work to help entrepreneurial partners move from cycles of reactivity, resentment, or emotional distance into a relationship grounded in honesty, compassion, and mature connection.
Who This Work Is For
This may be a good fit if you and/or your partner:
Own or run a business (together or separately)
Are high-achieving, driven, or mission-oriented
Feel stuck in conflict, disconnect, or resentment
Want more intimacy, closeness, or ease
Keep running the same argument loop
Want to operate more as a unified team
Value emotional growth, honesty, and long-term sustainability
This work is for couples who are willing to be reflective, curious, and internally accountable—even when it’s uncomfortable.
My Approach
NARM: Healing the Patterns That Block Connection
NARM helps uncover the deeper patterns—often formed early in life—that shape how you relate, cope, and protect yourself. For entrepreneurial couples, these patterns often show up as:
Over-functioning or burnout
Taking everything on yourself
Feeling responsible for your partner’s emotions
Conflict avoidance or emotional shutdown
Difficulty asking for support
Feeling unseen despite doing “everything right”
Together, we work with these patterns not as problems to fix, but as adaptive strategies you’ve outgrown.
Differentiation: Building Strength, Honesty, and True Intimacy
Differentiation-based couples therapy supports partners in:
Staying present during intensity
Communicating with clarity rather than reactivity
Holding boundaries without threat or withdrawal
Practicing emotional honesty
Developing a “team of two adults,” not a parent-child dynamic
This model fosters a relationship where each partner can remain grounded in themselves and deeply connected to each other.
Why This Matters for Entrepreneurial Couples
Entrepreneurs often face pressures that many couples don’t experience to this intensity:
Long hours and shifting schedules
Financial risks and uneven seasons
Blurred boundaries between home and business
Identity wrapped up in work
High expectations of self and partner
Uneven emotional labor or mental load
Difficulty slowing down
Even strong couples can become overwhelmed.
My work focuses on helping you:
Navigate stress without turning on each other
Rebuild emotional and sexual intimacy
Communicate more effectively—especially during pressure
Understand the patterns driving repeat arguments
Become allies rather than adversaries
Create a relationship structure that supports your dreams
Share responsibility without resentment or collapse
Your space for truth begins here. You don’t have to navigate this transition alone. Together, we create the conditions for healing and growth.
