I get gaming...

With 25 years of gaming experience and nearly 15 years of wellbeing and teaching experience, I am ready to tackle the issue of gaming in your life, your child's life or provide education on the topic to schools and professionals.

My Intelligent Gaming Strategies help gamers enjoy their games without it being the number one priority in their lives. I love video games. I think that some of them are very creative in their storytelling and others transport us to a high-energy, adrenalin-pumping experience. I have, however, had the experience of stepping over the line where video games took up way too much of my time and affected me in ways I didn't expect.

I understand precisely what a gamer is going through and how to get to the other side. The goal is to achieve a win-win scenario around gaming within your family dynamic, and GameAware has what it takes to help that happen.

I approach game "addictions" with experience-based strategies and current information on the psychology of games. It's worth mentioning that a video game addiction isn't the correct terminology. Recently, the World Health Organization has classified "Gaming Disorder" in the ICD.
