About Clear Skies Counseling

The Meaning Behind Our Name

Mountains with Glacier and Clear Skies

The name Clear Skies Counseling was inspired by my time serving in the U.S. Air Force. During my career, I had the privilege of working alongside dedicated service members, their families, and amazing individuals from around the world. In aviation, the phrase “clear skies and tailwinds” is often used as a farewell, wishing someone a safe journey, calm skies, and favorable winds that allow them to reach their destination quickly. I chose this name to bring that same spirit of hope and support into the counseling space.

But, there’s also some irony in the name. As any pilot or Texan knows, the most beautiful skies, the ones filled with rich colors and striking sunsets, often appear just after storms or are partially obscured by clouds. I find that life is the same. We may strive for clarity and calm, but it’s often our struggles and imperfections that shape who we are and give us depth and meaning.

Clear Skies Counseling was built on that belief: that healing doesn’t mean perfection and that growth often comes through life’s messier moments. Whether you’re navigating a personal storm or simply seeking more clarity in your life, we’re here to walk alongside you.
