Separation + Divorce

Christian counseling for women in Chambersburg & throughout Pennsylvania

You planned to spend the rest of your life with him and now you’re looking at divorce papers.

This is not something you ever pictured for your life. You're wondering why God hasn't answered your prayers to heal your marriage. And you have no idea what He expects from you in all of this.

If you're facing a separation or divorce as a Christian woman, welcome. You're in the the right place.

You’ve been fighting for so long.

Fighting for your marriage, fighting with your husband, and fighting through prayer for God to please restore what was broken.

Now you’re just numb.

When you said forever, you meant it. You tried to be a good wife. You tried to be a godly wife. But it just wasn’t enough.

You can’t even wrap your head around what’s happening, let alone try to plan what your future is going to look like.

You're worried about your kids, your finances, and your sanity. How are you possibly going to manage everything on your own?

You're wondering why God hasn't intervened. You want to honor Him and do the right things. Surely He wants your marriage to last forever, so why is it all falling apart?

I’ve been there. As a Christian, you never expect that your marriage will end. It’s not in God’s design. So you’re asking why it’s happening. And what is your next right step, biblically?

I invite you to cast all of your anxieties onto Him, because He cares for you (I Peter 5:7)

Even if you can't see it, God is working.

You may wonder how much you’re supposed to keep fighting for your marriage, and when it’s okay to let go.

You may be worried about how you’ll manage as a single parent and the impact the divorce will have on your kids.

These are the things I struggled with, too, when I went through a divorce. As a Christian woman and mom, this is not the life we want for ourselves or our kids.

But I want to tell you that there is hope. God is ready and willing to walk with you through this dark time in your life to bring you closer than ever to Him.

God is inviting you to seek Him and trust in Him.

Imagine waking up knowing that God is providing what you need for that day.

Imagine learning to trust Him with each next step when you don’t even know what direction to take.

God may not restore your marriage, but He can and will restore you as you learn to walk in faith like you never have before.

What if you could not just survive, but thrive in the shadow of His wings, experiencing His deep love for you like never before.

Imagine looking back a year from now and saying “wow, look what God did to bring me through that.”

How I can help

I know it’s hard to picture how God might be working through all of this. But as someone who has been through a divorce, I look back now in awe at the way God worked to bring me out of that difficult situation.

Things that, in the moment, I couldn’t have said it was God working, but looking back at the big picture, it’s clear that He had His hand in it the whole time.

You don’t have to walk through this alone. I would love to walk alongside you as you navigate this hard, heartbreaking situation.

I use a Christian-based Cognitive Behavioral model of counseling that helps you uncover thoughts and beliefs that keep your mind spinning with whys, what ifs, and what nows, and replace those crippling thoughts with the comfort and peace of God’s word.

As you learn to place your identity, purpose, desires, and strength in Jesus, you will experience the purpose and hope and only He can provide.

Using knowledge and skills from biblical counseling methods, I help you learn to lean on Christ through this time and approach your circumstances from a biblical perspective.

Even though you’re seeking Christian counseling, I know that, for a variety of reasons, you might not feel ready to jump right into scripture or even prayer. You want to believe God’s promises, but you might be in a place where you’re angry with God or doubt His love for you. I will meet you where you are spiritually to gently lead you toward the truth of His word.

We will work together in session as you learn and apply new skills to shift your thoughts and behaviors toward living aligned with your values, identity, and purpose as a Christian. Between sessions, you will put these skills into practice.

Working both in and between sessions will help you see results faster and enable you to experience long term results.

I know you’re ready and willing to do what it takes, you just need the support and guidance to take the right steps forward. And I would love to help you do that.

You may feel so lost and powerless in your circumstances that you wonder if counseling will even help.

When you are in a really dark place in life, it can be hard to see the light. I want to encourage you to invite hope into your circumstances.

Even if your situation doesn’t change and things don’t work out the way you are so desperately praying for, it is possible to seek God’s will during this time.

When you open your heart to seeking Him, He will help your desires to become those things that are in His plans for you.

Maybe you are wondering how you will manage fitting counseling sessions in with all of the added stressors in your life right now.

I know things may be difficult with finding childcare or room in your finances.

I want to encourage you with knowing that one of the most important factors in how well your children handle going through a divorce is how well you are handling it. Taking time for yourself to process, heal, and grow through this time is not only for you, but for your family.

I offer flexible scheduling, so if you can only meet once or twice a month, we can work that into your plan. You will be equipped to continue the therapeutic process between sessions through personal growth work, so you are continuing to move forward throughout the month.

I also offer teletherapy, so if you are not able to come into the office, we can meet through a secure video link for your sessions.

I will work with you to help you get what you need from our time together in a way that works for you.
