Performance Coaching

I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Performance Coach. I combine my passion for gaming with deep expertise in Psychotherapy and Sport Psychology. I have worked with elite individual athletes and top-tier teams. I teach athletes how to improve their focus and discipline, and to increase their peak performance in high pressure competitions.

I have worked closely with championship level sports athletes, Chess players, and esport teams such as Cloud9, TSM, Gen.G, and Evil Geniuses.

Mental Health

I have over 10 years of clinical experience as a Psychotherapist. I have worked with thousands of clients aiding them to overcome stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. High-performing athletes often struggle with these very common mental health concerns. I am skilled at addressing and improving athletes’ emotional wellbeing, so they can focus on training and performance while maintaining health and wellness.

Mental Training

I teach athletes the importance of mental training. Peak performance means critical decision making, executing with perfect precision and managing intense emotions. I teach strategies for focus, emotional regulation, self-awareness, and discipline. I aid players in developing a relationship to pressure where the player is excited and finds joy in pressure, rather than fear and anxiety. This process is something I have done with hundreds of athletes over the course of my career.

Creating Culture

I have led initiatives to create a winning culture at the organizations I have worked with.  I work with staff and players to identify values and corresponding behaviors that the organization can practice and adhere to day by day.  

Putting these values into action in every moment is where the challenge lies. Every player on a team can identify how important respect, leadership, hard-work, and other similar values are for success. The difficulty lies in training with complete alignment to these values.

I help the teams I work with identify the most important values for them and then create a structure and process that helps the team to train to those values daily. In particular I help teams with the following:

• giving and receiving critical feedback

• applying consistent disciplined effort during training

• conflict resolution

• professionalism

• creating deeper connections between players

• goal-setting

• effective active reviews of matches and practice
