Support for Partners of Pilots & Aviation Professionals
Living in the jet stream of aviation life comes with a unique set of challenges. Whether your partner is in military aviation or flies for a commercial airline, this lifestyle often includes long stretches of solo parenting, unpredictable schedules, geographic moves, missed milestones, and emotional disconnects that can leave even the strongest person feeling unsteady.
As both a clinical psychologist and a longtime partner of a pilot—first in the military and now in the commercial airline industry—I bring personal and professional experience to supporting individuals navigating this life. I understand the quiet toll of repeated goodbyes, the weight of unspoken grief when your partner misses another holiday, and the emotional strain that can build in the space between departures and returns.
Our work together will focus on short-term, targeted therapy grounded in evidence-based strategies for:
Adjustment after transitions (e.g., deployments, job changes, relocations)
Relationship strain and emotional disconnection
Anxiety, irritability, and sleep disruptions
Feelings of resentment or burnout from carrying a disproportionate load
Isolation and identity confusion
Resilience and boundary-setting
Grief and ambiguous loss
Rebuilding balance and connection
This service is designed specifically for partners of aviation professionals looking for brief, effective support to process complex feelings, reconnect with themselves and their relationships, and build sustainable tools for long-term resilience.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. Let’s chart a course forward, together.
