I am an ACOD.

ACOD experience  many similar effects from parental divorce, and they usuallly suffer silently. I would love to hear your story, and I can tell you mine. Whether through a few sessions or an in-depth analysis, you can make progress on your healing journey, and I'd love to accompany you on that journey. 

Group discussions are also available. You can be invited to one of the many secret social media groups I administer that are exclusively for ACOD.

In addition to our session(s), I can refer you to many other amazing resources so that you can experience freedom, healthy family interactions, and the ability to thrive in your own relationships. Schedule an introductory session with me so we can determine the most beneficial approach for you.

​

I'm married to, in a relationship with, or care about someone who is an ACOD.

The wounds of our loved ones are often hidden but often very much still active. If you would like to better understand some of the dynamics in your relationships that may come from your loved one's parental divorce, I can help. You also have to navigate these waters, and I can help you gain some perspective and employ some  guiding principles. Schedule a session soon, and get some clarity about the common effects of parental divorce, as well as how to best support your loved one.

I'm a well-known person.

I have worked with quite a few people who are generally well-known (famous) and those well-known in their profession, location, or other social circles. This can make it difficult to find a place to speak freely, knowing all will be treated with the utmost discretion. Usually in addition to their own healing which is of course of paramount importance, people in this category strongly desire to have enough clarity about the topic to speak with conviction in various professional and social settings. Let's set up a time to talk soon.

I or my organization work with or serve ACOD. 

ACOD often express that the individuals, professionals, or organizations they trusted to help them did not understand ACOD issues, merely provided empty platitudes, or just did not “get it.” This may not be what you want to hear, especially when you are truly trying to help. My experience and knowledge added to your skills and expertise will increase effectiveness and healing. Many people who serve ACOD have not fully examined and healed from their own wounds resulting from parental divorce. And no matter whether they come from an intact family or parental divorce, they would benefit from gaining more, dare I say better, information and perspective on this topic so as to serve ACOD better.  I am available to arrange a session or training tailored to the specific needs of you or your organization.

I want to help my children now that my spouse and I are divorced. 

Many parents struggle to receive their children's wounds, and many ACOD find it challenging to discuss the topic without inflicting further pain on their parents who have already suffered from the divorce. It can be tough to  support one another in a healthy way. Let's set up a session where you can share your story and I can introduce some guiding principles. It is possible to navigate this topic and reduce tension around it.

I am clergy, religious, or in ministry.

 Do you struggle with articulating the impact of parental divorce on children?  Do you need to present this topic to people of your faith, of different faiths, or no faith at all?

Too many ACOD have shared that the church just did not "get it."  I can help you augment your knowledge and confidently serve adult children of divorce as well as people in marriage crisis who do not understand the impact a divorce will have on their children (young or grown children).

Perhaps unhealed trauma from your own family’s divorce is impacting how you help others. My experience with this topic and working with those in your position can equip you with what you need.

I provide a safe and discreet space for you to speak freely, receive guidance, and develop a good approach to support those impacted by parental divorce, and to heal your own heart if parental divorce impacted you. You might be surprised how small changes can help you serve others more effectively. I look forward to hearing from you. I am also available to do trainings and workshops.

I am doing research or am involved in educational activities related to ACOD.

I am happy to speak with people involved in educational endeavors related to the effects on young or adult children of parental divorce, permanent separation, or never married status.  Whether this is a part of your research or you are interested in new areas of research, I'd be glad to hear from you.
