ABOUT ILR
I came into this work the way many practitioners do, trying to make sense of dysfunction in my own life. I noticed a serious disconnect between how people saw me and how I was operating internally.
That disconnect drove me to seek answers. But even through my pursuit of understanding, I struggled to find actionable solutions. Two decades of professional help yielded little real change, which taught me something crucial:
Most approaches target symptoms, or what is visible from the surface, but overlook the roots below.
What is the ILR Program?
I have developed an approach to self-development that targets the underlying mechanisms driving our patterns. It is not simply about managing feelings or learning coping strategies. It's based in learning why we operate in the ways that we do, identifying the knots in the roots, and freeing them so we can grow.
Everything I teach is based on the foundation of empirically proven research, techniques and disciplines I studied in both my undergraduate and master’s degrees in psychology.
The ILR program puts you at the center of an ever-growing framework of life domains. The more you explore each domain, the clearer your trajectory becomes. At the end of the path are the ultimate rewards: self-actualization and an enhanced drive for life.
A fair warning, this process will not be easy. Nothing that improves you ever is. You will face uncomfortable truths, and you will be challenged to change long-standing patterns of dysfunction that are holding you back.
Who Is This For?
This is for those who feel that something just isn't right. Maybe it's a pattern that keeps repeating. Maybe you have tried other approaches, therapy, self-help, trying to draw on some unseen reserve of resilience, and they've helped to keep you moving, but something fundamental feels like it needs to shift.
Change can be uncomfortable, but it is inevitable. By taking command of the process, you orient yourself towards becoming who you can be, rather than remaining at the mercy of unconscious patterns.

Break through your impasse.
Take your life back.

My purpose in life is to reduce the suffering of as many people as I possibly can, both internal and external. I built this program with the pitfalls of my own experience in mind. My trials did not need to persist as long as they did. If I had access to a program like this much earlier, I could have achieved so much more during the last few decades. Nevertheless, I aim to impart the knowledge I have gained to you, and to steer you away from the various obstacles that could otherwise cost you years of valuable time. I am at your service, and strive to see you reaching for your ultimate heights.
The concept of Impasse Life Recovery stems from my own lived experience. I spent decades of my life recovering from various physical and mental ailments. It was time which I cannot recover. The hardships I faced, though debilitating, fortified my outlook and pushed me towards the discipline of self-development.
I did not begin my foray into psychology with dreams of becoming a personal coach or counselor. I first took up the pursuit to make sense of my own patterns. Over the years, I received a lot of encouragement to move in this direction. Though I was reluctant at first, I returned to school to earn a master’s degree in psychology. I graduated summa cum laude from Pepperdine University, and prepared to take the next steps towards my new vision, the Impasse Life Recovery program.
