How to get specific directories for process

I have a directory which contains many subdirectories. For example:

Emp1
 Acc
 profile
   pro1.xml
   pro2.xml
 data
Emp2
 Acc
 profile
   pro1.xml
   pro2.xml
 data
Emp3
 Acc
 profile
   pro1.xml
   pro2.xml
 data

I want to write a foreach loop so I get only files which reside in the profile folder. For example:

 foreach string filename in directory.getdirectories(filepat){
        //code.
  }

Can someone please help me create a search pattern to do this?

Maybe you could try something like the following:

 IEnumerable<string> directories = Directory.GetDirectories("PATH", "*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories).Where(d => d == "ProfileFolder");
 foreach (string directory in directories)
 {
     string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(directory, "*.*", SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly);
 }

I wrote some fluent extensions to files and directories that let you do this nicely with linq, Take a look here: http://blog.staticvoid.co.nz/2011/11/staticvoid-io-extentions-nuget.html

or download from nuget using Install-Package StaticVoid.Core.IO

diretory.Directories().SelectMany(d => 
   d.Directory(di => di.Name == "Acc")
       .Directory(di => di.Name == "profile").Files());

EDIT after Question Edited....

var directoryInfo = new DirectoryInfo(@"c:\temp\stackoverflow");
foreach (var element in dinfo.GetDirectories(@"profile", SearchOption.AllDirectories).SelectMany(x => x.GetFiles()))
{
    Console.WriteLine (element);
}

Like this?

It may be what you want... 

 string [] dirname = Directory.GetDirectories(path){
                 foreach( string s in dirname)
                 {
                   if(s.Contains("profile"))
                   {
                     //do your work
                   }
                 }
