Kris speaks with candor and self-reflection while she listens with understanding and grace. She is experienced in leading others through their journey of forgiveness and healing from divorce. I know many people, myself included, who have benefited from her caring approach that refocuses people from darkness to light. Kris has a gift that I highly recommend you give yourself if you are looking to be guided, as you do the work, to move from sadness and despair to contentment and peace.

Kris' strength of character and faith in God's healing grace led me through the darkest days of my divorce and into a hope-filled future. She always seems to speak what your soul needs to hear and isn't afraid to tackle tough topics. The love of Christ shines through her, and I know she is always giving Godly wisdom, not just her opinion. She skillfully led a group of hurting strangers to become a group where vulnerability and complete honesty were safe to a tribe I continue to count as some of my favorite people years later. I am truly blessed to have her in my life, and I thank God every time I get to spend time with her.

Kris supported me initially as a leader through DivorceCare and then through a women's support group working on forgiveness. Kris is excellent at listening, providing support, and mentoring women who want to grow personally in the area of forgiveness. She provided personal growth opportunities through self-reflection, home study questions, group discussions, and personal experiences. Kris has a deep faith and uses the Bible scriptures to support women. She is kind and cares deeply about others. Kris is an inspiration. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to learn and to have chosen to be better over bitter.

When you're going through the dark, painful time of a divorce, it's hard to find someone who understands what you are going through. When I felt completely lost, Kris was a sympathetic and caring mentor. When I didn't know how to handle a situation, she would give me gentle suggestions that were full of wisdom and meant to protect my fragile heart. Other times she reminded me to crawl out of the pit of despair. I pray that everyone has a Kris to help them through their divorce. I still quote her advice to my friends now. When she promises you it will get better, she's right.

I met Kris in DivorceCare. After being divorced for five years, I still dealt with lingering, deep, and unforgiving hard feelings. Kris was very open and honest about her divorce and the work she had done through the healing process. Listening to how she moved forward and how God moved in her life made me look inward and change my heart. I was able to move past so much hurt and pain. Because of Kris' help, I could forgive some of my hurt and go on a 12-day vacation with my ex-husband, his new wife, and our three children. That is a huge God movement because of one person's passion for helping. I asked Kris to baptize me when our church was doing baptisms because of her impact on my heart.

Kris ' faith and support throughout a difficult time in my life and others' lives has been a blessing. Her attention and care for me and each of us was truly appreciated. Having someone to guide me through emotional and painful conversations with kindness and prayer was a tremendous comfort. She got to know me and what I was experiencing in a judgemental free space. Kris sharing her personal experiences and how she got through her struggles with God helped me connect with her, and I appreciated her vulnerability. I love that I was in a group of women that know God.

I have had the privilege of watching Kris lead our DivorceCare group with experience and compassion. She leads the group with faith and a genuine desire to help others during their most difficult time. God has blessed Kris with many gifts, and joining her class would be a great first step in carrying on with life during and after divorce.
Pastor Dave D
Going through DivorceCare was scary at first, but having Kris leading our group made it easier. It was evident that Kris loved leading and was eager to help get us through all the pain, no matter where we were in the divorce process. Kris was honest and vulnerable with us as she shared her own story. Kris can relate and isn't afraid to challenge how you handle a situation or your perspective. She did this from a place of love and really cared that we got through the class and began to heal and forgive. Kris is the real deal, and I am grateful I had her as my DivorceCare leader.

When you are looking for someone who speaks the truth of God's word while holding you accountable, Kris is your person. Success is measured by the steps that you take toward accomplishing your goals. I do not doubt that every woman that Kris works with will find success in her path. Kris has a no-nonsense approach while at the same time showing grace and kindness. Kris is one in a million and has helped improve my life while on my journey of healing. Her words of inspiration, "do you want to be better or bitter," still guide me today.
