Christian Counseling for Self-Esteem and Self-Worth
Serving women in-person in Chambersburg and online throughout PA
You’re feeling lost and defeated. Everyone seems to be moving forward in life, but you’re just… stuck.
​​​
If you're struggling with self-doubt, fear of what people think, and lack of confidence and want to live in freedom, hope, and purpose, then welcome. You're in the the right place.
It's hard to shake the feeling of inferiority.
You've been too afraid to show up confidently in your own life. You know you shouldn't be led by fear, but you just can't seem to move past it.
Your lack of confidence and self-doubt has kept you from so many things that you would love to pursue.
​
There’s a constant feeling of needing to be who and what you think people expect. It seems everyone else has it together, so you put their needs and opinions over your own. You politely nod and go along with others, overthinking everything you might say.
​
You want deeper relationships, a better career, and freedom to just be yourself.
​
Anytime you start moving toward a goal, your fear gets the best of you. Avoidance is your safety zone, but has kept you from truly living the life you want.​
You’re not meant to go through life hiding, trying to measure up to others, and dimming the light God has lit in you.
Matthew 5:14-16 says, “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
Perhaps it’s time to let go of your fear.
Fear of failure, of what people think, of disappointing yourself again.
​
God has created you with purpose. He gave you a unique combination of gifts, abilities, and interests that only you have.
​
It may be hard to see the value that lies in you now, but it is possible to learn to trust that what God created in you is beautiful and can be used for His purpose and glory.
Imagine living in the freedom of who you were created to be
​Being confident in your identity in Christ will allow you to step out in faith to go after those things that you dream of, knowing that, even if you fail, it does not define your worth.
​
Knowing your worth - bought and paid for by the blood of Jesus - means no longer comparing your life to others and trying to live up to what other people might expect.
It means leaning into those unique gifts, abilities, and interests He gave you.
​
Together, we can work together to help you move past the underlying beliefs and behaviors that are keeping you stuck, so you can gain the confidence to let your light shine.​
How I can help
My approach to counseling for self-esteem and self-worth is compassionate, practical, and at your pace. I will meet you where you are as I learn about you, what you're struggling with, and your goals. We will work together to equip you with tools and skills for life-long success.
​
Together, we will:
-
Identify what you really want

Learn to reduce your stress responses and physical reactions

Break free from unhelpful habits and behaviors
-
Develop new, goals-based habits and behaviors
-
Draw on your faith for your identity, worth, and purpose
-
Equip you for life-long success
​​​​
Even though you’re seeking Christian counseling, I know that you might be struggling with your faith in some ways. I will meet you where you are spiritually to incorporate your faith at your comfort level.
You may feel scared that you will try this, it won’t work, and you will just disappoint yourself again.
When you are willing to show up, share, learn, and put into practice what you learn, then it would be hard to walk away with nothing changed. Having someone to offer guidance, knowledge, skills, and support will only increase your chance of success. You don’t have to keep trying to do this alone.
​
Think about where you might be a year from now. If you don’t try this and nothing changes, what will life look like? How will you feel?
​
When you do try it and it works, how might your life be? How will you feel?
You might be wondering if you will be expected to do awkward things to get out of your comfort zone.
We will work together on your goals for therapy, which you will determine.
Much of your work will be internal that will naturally result in doing things differently in how you show up in your life.
True change will mean getting out of your comfort zone - which we will do gently, at your pace. I will help you come up with a plan and provide tools to support you in taking action in a way that works for you. I will help you work through internal thoughts and feelings that may prohibit you from moving forward toward your goal.
