With a Bachelor’s in Biology, a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education, and a Master’s in Counseling, she spent 20 years as a middle school teacher before launching her coaching business to support the mental health and personal development of today’s youth. As a parent raising two teenagers, Gretchen brings both professional insight and real-world understanding to the challenges students and families face today.

She partners with schools, families, and community organizations to provide school-based programs, individual coaching, and parent education that foster emotional wellness, confidence, resilience, goal setting, and healthy social skills. Her recent work includes an 8-week school program that delivered measurable growth in student mindset, behavior, and peer relationships, as well as one-on-one coaching sessions that help young people navigate stress, social media, and self-doubt. Her coaching focuses on confidence-building, emotional regulation, peer relationships, goal setting, and social media awareness—skills that are essential for today’s youth to thrive socially, emotionally, and academically.  Gretchen’s compassionate, strengths-based approach empowers youth to build the tools they need to thrive—so they can GROW with purpose and create a brighter tomorrow.
