I write and work at the intersection of identity, perception, and human agency.

My focus is not on improving the self, resolving the past, or replacing one narrative with another. It is on understanding how suffering is generated in the present moment, and why insight alone often fails to restore freedom.

This site brings together two related bodies of work.
Thinking in Images explores how experience is organized through emotional memory and internal representation, and how agency is structurally displaced when identity is mistaken for the self.

IAMPR (Identity Awareness & Memory Perception Redirect) is a framework that grew out of this understanding, focused on recognizing that mechanism in real time and restoring authorship where it was lost.

The work presented here is not organized as therapy or clinical treatment, but it is oriented toward the reduction of unnecessary suffering. It is descriptive rather than prescriptive, and seeks to clarify how perception, identity, and agency interact, and what becomes possible when that interaction is no longer confused with reality.
