ABOUT NATASHA

I am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Grand Canyon University. I am thrilled to be working as a student counselor, bringing over 25 years of experience in aviation crew resource management into the mental health field. My extensive airline pilot career and involvement in pilot peer support programs have given me valuable skills in crisis management, teamwork, and compassionate communication. My Master's Degree is providing me a foundation for becoming a counselor.

I look forward to gaining valuable experience and insight from Cardinal Counseling and Wellness therapists, and I look forward to learning with clients in need.

While volunteering with APA Project Wingman and as an Executive Administrator with IPPAC (International Pilot Peer Assist Coalition), I supported aviation professionals facing mental health challenges, connecting them with resources and providing peer support. My passion lies in helping individuals navigate high-pressure environments and addressing mental health needs, especially within unique populations such as veterans, first responders, and airline professionals.

Inspired by my years of aviation experience and commitment to service, I aim to blend my leadership, adaptability, and emotional resilience expertise to provide empathetic and effective counseling to those in need.
