Parenting & Teen Development Coach
Hi, I'm Dru — a Parenting & Teen Development Coach with dual Master's degrees in Adolescent Developmental Counseling and Teaching English, and an ICF-certified Teen Resilience Coach.
I came to this work through years of teaching and watching something become clear: the students who thrived weren't just the ones who knew the material — they were the ones who knew themselves. They had the self-awareness to manage hard emotions, the confidence to advocate for their own needs, and the relationship skills to navigate the complicated world of adolescence. The ones who struggled most weren't lacking intelligence. They were lacking the social-emotional tools that make everything else possible.
That gap is what drives everything I create.
My resources are designed for parents who want to understand their teens better, for teens who are ready to understand themselves, and for the educators and coaches who show up for young people every day. Everything I make is grounded in SEL — social-emotional learning — and built around the belief that when young people feel seen, supported, and equipped, they are capable of extraordinary things.
Whether you are a parent trying to reconnect with a teenager who seems to have shut down, a coach looking for practical tools to use with clients, or a teen figuring out who you are and where you are going — you are in the right place.
I am glad you are here.
