Where Purpose Met Healing

Erickson-trained and an ICF member based in Contra Costa County, California, I coach single parents and individuals navigating divorce, breakups, or major life transitions.

Before stepping into coaching, I spent over a decade in logistics and supply chain management—solving problems, streamlining systems, and making sure everything flowed. I was successful, but something was missing. After a life-altering shift—navigating a divorce and stepping into single motherhood—I began to rebuild my life from the inside out.

In the stillness of that transition, I found coaching. And in it, I found myself.

What began as a personal healing journey became a calling: to help others do the same. Now, I support clients as they reclaim their identity, rebuild their confidence, and step into a life that feels aligned and purposeful. Whether you're starting over or simply feeling stuck, I offer a grounded, supportive space where clarity and growth can take root.

My passion lies in helping people move forward—whether it’s toward a quiet dream or a bold new beginning—because every step forward deserves to be honored.

My Credentials

I am professionally trained by Erickson Coaching International, a globally respected and ICF-accredited coach training institution known for its solution-focused, neuroscience-based approach. In 2024, Erickson received the ICF Coaching Impact Award for Distinguished Coaching Education Provider, recognizing their commitment to excellence and lasting impact on the coaching profession.

By choosing an Erickson-trained coach, you’re working with someone who has completed rigorous, ethics-based training, equipped with tools grounded in neuroscience, systems thinking, and real-world coaching practices.

As a certified member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), I uphold the highest standards of professionalism, presence, and ethics in every client relationship. Coaching isn’t about giving advice—it’s about creating space for you to discover your own answers, in your own time.

Our session will be

  • Rooted in you

    Our coaching begins with where you are right now — your lived experience, your current season, and what you feel called to shift. Sessions are personalized and collaborative, designed to reflect your values and align with what matters most to you.

  • Forward-Focused & Strength-Led

    Coaching is not about dwelling in the past or fixing what’s broken — it’s about recognizing your inner strengths, exploring what’s possible, and taking aligned steps forward. I’m here to help you gain clarity, stay connected to your vision, and move at a pace that feels true to you.

  • Whole-Life Centered

    Whether you’re navigating a transition, reclaiming your identity, or creating space for yourself as a single parent, our sessions hold room for your full story. We’ll explore thoughts, patterns, and perspectives that support growth — in a space that’s safe, grounded, and fully yours.

Because healing isn't a race—it's a return.

At Single Mama Era, we believe in soft landings. In gentle starts. In allowing space for the slow rebuild after the storm.

This journey isn’t about rushing to be okay—it’s about learning to feel whole again, one honest moment at a time..

Book Your Clarity Call

A gentle space to pause, reflect, and breathe.

This isn’t about fixing—it’s about exploring where you are, what’s been heavy on your heart, and whether this journey is one we’ll walk together.

If you’re craving clarity, connection, or simply a soft place to land—this is your moment to begin.
