Founder of Identity Collapse Therapy (ICT) | Architect of Conscious Transformation


I’m the creator of Identity Collapse Therapy (ICT)—a pioneering framework designed to dismantle the internal architecture of limitation and activate your highest cognitive, emotional, and visionary potential.


If you’ve sensed that personal development has hit a ceiling…

If you've outgrown mindset work and surface-level coaching...

ICT was built for you.


As the founder of this multidimensional system, I guide leaders, innovators, and seekers of transformation through the collapse of outdated self-concepts—unlocking true intelligence, liberated identity, and aligned execution across every domain of life.


Through ICT, I help you:


✔ Dismantle subconscious identities that no longer serve your evolution
✔ Recalibrate your internal systems—neural, emotional, energetic
✔ Access a new field of intelligence beyond inherited roles and mental conditioning


This isn’t self-help.

This is identity deconstruction as a path to self-liberation.

This is a blueprint for living, leading, and creating from the level of your expanded consciousness—not your past programming.

2005-Present

LIFEPILLAR INSTITUTE

AI Strategist, Leadership & Transformational Coach

As a Leadership & Transformational Coach at LifePillar Institute, I specialize in helping individuals—including leaders, professionals, and personal growth seekers—unlock their full potential by aligning their lives with their core values, authentic purpose, and strategic goals. My work focuses on guiding clients through identity clarity, personal transformation, and conscious leadership, empowering them to navigate life with resilience, confidence, and direction.
 

My transformational approach is built on LifeSphere Dynamics and Identity Collapse Therapy (ICT)—a groundbreaking framework designed to dissolve rigid identity structures, recalibrate subconscious predictive models, and create a fluid, adaptive sense of self. ICT is rooted in neuroscience, cognitive processing, and quantum consciousness, offering a structured method for individuals to detach from outdated self-concepts, rewire cognitive biases, and construct an identity aligned with their highest potential.
 

Unlike traditional psychological models that work within an assumed self, ICT challenges the very foundation of identity itself, recognizing that selfhood is a predictive construct rather than a fixed reality. This approach allows for deep neurological and cognitive restructuring, making it particularly powerful for those experiencing identity crises, leadership plateaus, or major life transitions.
 

With over 27 years of experience in coaching, leadership development, and transformational methodologies, I bridge the gap between deep personal fulfillment and professional excellence. My work integrates subconscious recalibration, cognitive deconstruction, and strategic life realignment, empowering individuals to lead, live, and create from a place of clarity and purpose.

My approach extended beyond traditional business consulting, integrating energetic awareness and conscious leadership principles to foster adaptability, resilience, and long-term success.
 

This experience directly informs my current work as a Master Spiritual Coach & Transformational Guide, where I continue to help individuals—leaders and seekers alike—integrate self-awareness, energetic mastery, and deep personal transformation into their lives and leadership practices.

Independent Consciousness Researcher

INDEPENDENT CONSCIOUSNESS RESEARCHER

Independent Consciousness Researcher & Author | A Life Devoted to the Depths of Human Potential

For over three decades, I have been immersed in the study and direct experience of consciousness evolution, identity transformation, and the unseen mechanics of human potential. This is not just professional work—it is a lifelong calling driven by relentless inquiry, deep practice, and lived experience. My path has been one of exploration at the intersection of neuroscience, quantum cognition, archetypal psychology, and transformational methodologies, all with the singular goal of understanding how identity forms, dissolves, and evolves.
 

From the earliest days of my journey, I have sought to bridge the wisdom of ancient traditions with the precision of modern science. My research has led me into the depths of subconscious deconstruction, cognitive recalibration, and energetic realignment, exploring fields such as predictive processing, identity plasticity, guided imagery, vibrational entrainment, and dream-state integration. These are not just concepts I study, but living practices that have shaped my own transformation and empowered countless others to reclaim their authentic selfhood.
 

This body of work has culminated in Identity Collapse Therapy (ICT)—a cutting-edge framework designed to dissolve rigid self-concepts, recalibrate subconscious predictive models, and facilitate the emergence of a fluid, adaptive identity. Unlike traditional psychology, which often seeks to refine and reinforce a fixed self, ICT challenges the very foundation of selfhood itself, revealing identity as an illusory construct shaped by neural patterning, cognitive biases, and socio-cultural conditioning.

ICT is not just a theoretical framework—it is a system of applied transformation, built upon neuroscientific principles, somatic integration, and cognitive restructuring. It empowers individuals to:

Disrupt limiting identity constructs that unconsciously dictate behavior.

Collapse outdated predictive models that reinforce false narratives of self.

Rewire cognitive filters to enable flexible, conscious identity selection.

Integrate fragmented aspects of self into a dynamic and self-directed awareness.

Through ICT and LifeSphere Dynamics, I have developed a highly refined system for navigating identity deconstruction and realignment, guiding individuals through profound transformations in leadership, personal growth, and energetic alignment. These methodologies are not just abstract models; they are living pathways for deep self-awareness, shadow integration, and liberation from subconscious constraints.
 

But my true work lies beyond frameworks and methodologies. It exists in the space between insight and transformation—in the precise moment when an individual reclaims their autonomy, dissolves lifelong conditioning, and reconnects with their unfiltered, authentic essence. My role is not to teach, but to facilitate the unraveling of identity distortions, allowing for the emergence of a selfhood free from fear, limitation, and external imprints.
 

My approach is unapologetically holistic yet empirically grounded, integrating:
 

Predictive Neuroscience & Identity Plasticity—Understanding the brain’s role in shaping and dissolving identity patterns.

Archetypal & Shadow Work—Illuminating subconscious structures that reinforce identity fixation.

Somatic & Energetic Calibration—Using body-based intelligence to facilitate identity reconstruction.

Cognitive Reframing & Pattern Disruption—Rewriting subconscious filters that dictate self-concept.

Ultimately, my work is about guiding others to remember who they are—not as an identity, but as an adaptable, self-aware field of consciousness. It is about breaking free from the illusions of self-imposed limitation, aligning with the deeper rhythms of transformation, and stepping into an unrestricted, fully embodied state of being.
 

This is not a profession or even a career—it is the core of my existence. It is the journey I walk, and the one I invite others to embark upon with me.

EDUCATION

1988–Present

INDEPENDENT CONSCIOUSNESS RESEARCHER & SYSTEMS THINKER

Self-Directed Doctorate in Consciousness Studies & Psychology

Fields of Study: Consciousness, Psychology, Neuroscience, Quantum Cognition, Identity Formation, Dreams, Creativity, and Archetypal Evolution


From an early age, I embarked on an unconventional yet profoundly immersive journey of self-education and experiential research, driven by an insatiable curiosity to understand the full scope of human potential—mentally, emotionally, and existentially. My lifelong exploration has integrated consciousness studies, neuroscience, identity plasticity, predictive cognition, and transformational psychology, bridging scientific inquiry with practical methodologies for self-mastery and radical identity evolution.
 

My research has focused extensively on:

  • The Science of Identity Collapse—How cognitive structures form, stabilize, and dissolve through neuroplasticity and predictive modeling.

  • Subconscious Recalibration & Perception Dynamics—The mechanisms by which belief systems, cognitive distortions, and energetic imprints shape self-concept.

  • Quantum Cognition & Nonlinear Selfhood—The intersection of consciousness, quantum field theory, and probabilistic identity selection.

  • Dream Theory & Archetypal Integration—How the subconscious projects symbolic narratives to navigate transformation.

  • Energetic & Somatic Intelligence—How the body encodes and reprocesses identity shifts through somatic feedback loops.

  • Spiritual Traditions & Indigenous Wisdom—Exploring ancestral knowledge systems, energy fields, and shamanic perspectives on self-transformation.


Beyond academic research, I have trained extensively in guided imagery, visualization techniques, and subconscious deconstruction, studying under leading experts in cognitive transformation and identity plasticity. My fieldwork has taken me deep into indigenous spiritual traditions, where I have had the privilege of learning directly from Native American spiritual leaders, energy practitioners, and wisdom keepers. Through in-depth mentorship and direct immersion, I have explored how intuition, energy calibration, and ancestral wisdom shape identity formation, healing, and transformation.
 

This lifelong dedication to understanding the mechanics of consciousness and identity evolution has culminated in the creation of Identity Collapse Therapy (ICT)—a groundbreaking framework that dismantles rigid identity structures, recalibrates subconscious predictive models, and allows individuals to construct adaptive, self-directed identities. ICT integrates neuroscience, predictive processing, archetypal psychology, and somatic recalibration to provide a structured, scientific approach to identity dissolution and reintegration.
 

Today, as a Consciousness Researcher & Transformational Guide, I continue to lead individuals through the profound journey of identity reconstruction, self-liberation, and purpose-driven living. Whether through mentorship, teaching, or research, my work remains deeply rooted in helping others break free from subconscious constraints, integrate higher-order consciousness, and embody their most expansive, unrestricted potential.

Emotional Release & Alternative Complementary Therapy | Time Line Therapy® for Deep Transformation

As a first-generation Master Practitioner of Time Line Therapy®, trained directly by Dr. Tad James, I guide individuals through profound emotional release, subconscious clearing, and personal transformation. This approach is not theoretical—it is an experiential process that allows clients to free themselves from the emotional weight of the past and step fully into their present potential.
 

Time Line Therapy® works by accessing the subconscious mind, where unresolved emotions and limiting beliefs are stored. Through this process, clients can:
 

  • Release anger, sadness, fear, guilt, and shame held from past experiences.
