Helping you create Clarity, Resilience and Stronger Relationships

Navigating the Skies & Life’s Challenges

Aviation is more than a career—it’s a lifestyle. Whether you are a pilot, flight attendant, air traffic controller, aviation executive, or a pilot’s spouse, you face unique stressors that impact your well-being and relationships. The high demands, long hours, time zone changes, and prolonged separations can create strain on mental health and family dynamics.

Tailored Mental Health Support for Aviation Professionals & Their Families

Your work demands precision, endurance, and focus—qualities that make you exceptional at what you do but can also create intense pressure. Whether you're struggling with job-related stress, anxiety, sleep disturbances, or relationship challenges due to time away, therapy can help you stay strong both in and out of the cockpit or control tower.

My Services Include:

✅ CBT & Anxiety Management – Confidential, evidence-based therapy to manage stress, burnout, and negative thought patterns.

Confidentiality Matters—A Therapy Model That Protects Your Career & Privacy

✔ Completely confidential – No reporting, no insurance records.

✔ Tailored to aviation professionals, spouses & their families – I understand your unique concerns and career demands.

✔ Science-backed and results-driven – Using the latest research in aviation stress management, neuroscience, psychology, and holistic health to help you thrive.

✔ Flexible & Accessible – Sessions available in-person or virtually (Texas and Florida) to fit your demanding schedule.

Your mental health should never come at the cost of your career. Let’s work together to ensure you can perform at your best while maintaining your well-being.

Balancing Career & Family: Strengthening Relationships in Aviation

Aviation professionals and their spouses face unique challenges regarding marriage and family life. Constant travel, unpredictable schedules, and the mental load of the job can create distance and disconnection in relationships. Therapy can help you and your loved ones:

🔹 Strengthen Communication & Connection – Express emotions clearly and stay close, even during time apart.

🔹 Support Parenting from a Distance – Stay engaged and present with your children despite travel demands.

🔹 Rebuild Intimacy & Trust – Navigate emotional distance and reconnect after prolonged separations.

🔹 Align Goals & Manage Stress Together – Understand aviation-related pressures and create a strong, shared foundation.

Your career is demanding, but your relationships shouldn’t suffer because of it. Let’s work together to create a strong foundation of connection, understanding, and balance in your personal life.
