Therapy that makes room for the person behind the role

Aviation asks you to remain composed, capable, and alert — even when life outside the cockpit feels anything but steady. Irregular schedules, time away from home, relationship strain, fatigue, isolation, and the responsibility of making high-stakes decisions can take a quiet toll.

You may be navigating burnout, grief, anxiety, a difficult transition, or simply wanting a space where you do not have to be the person who has everything handled. Therapy offers room to understand what you’re carrying, reconnect with yourself, and build ways of responding that support both your wellbeing and the life you’ve worked hard to create.

Therapy, diagnosis, and FAA considerations

I offer private-pay therapy and do not submit insurance claims on your behalf. Paying privately does not, however, remove a pilot’s FAA reporting responsibilities.

Beginning therapy does not automatically result in a mental health diagnosis. Diagnosis is based on careful clinical assessment and is neither automatically assigned nor intentionally avoided. When documentation is requested and you have authorized its release, I approach it accurately and thoughtfully.

I am not an Aviation Medical Examiner and cannot determine medical certification or fitness to fly. Because individual circumstances differ, I encourage you to discuss reporting and certification questions with an AME familiar with your particular situation.
