"she just doesn't really feel like she can put in the same hours on the same work week in week out anymore, while sitting in our apartment with the sun shining outside"
I can relate to that. And my solution is simply to work outside very often.
But the conditions need to be right, distraction free. (and of course it depends on the kind of work she is doing)
I have a place outside, hidden from sight and noise by rocks and trees. I can only hear the river softly flowing down in the valley - this is just a perfect distraction free environment for me.
But I moved specifically to this place, because of those conditions. You say you life in a apartment? Maybe you can rent out a garden plot somewhere, where you can set up a nice place in the shade, so that she can at least spend some working hours outside and not feel trapped inside?
This might help in general, whether she stays with the current job, or not.
