I believe my main job in doing a reading is to tell the truth, as I see it, with compassion.

I help you see where you are and then help you get where you want to go. I see the present -- including your habitual patterns of thinking and feeling -- very clearly. I also see the choices open to you. You can make choices that change your own attitudes, and you can make choices that change the outside world. Most of the time, your own patterns of thinking cloud your vision so it's hard to see what choices are available and which are most useful. I can cut through all that by telling you what I see.

I am dedicated to helping you make the changes you want. My training in hypnosis, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), and other energy skills are at your service. You can make huge shifts incredibly quickly -- often in one session -- backed up by practices you can do on your own.

I strongly believe that everyone has some intuitive, or psychic, abilities. These are normal human abilities. Everyone can develop his or her natural gifts through practice and intention, as with any other ability. My goal is to speed along that process of discovery and development. Why? Because I think this world would be a better place if every person clearly saw situations and the people around them. To that end, I've developed a psychic training program that works.

I believe "intuition" is actually a set of clairsenses, one corresponding to each physical sense. Listed from most common to least common, these are clairvoyance (sight), clairaudience (hearing), clairsentience (feeling), clairolfaction (smell), and clairgustation (taste). There is also telepathy, which I define as direct mind-to-mind communication, which can be experienced with a spirit whether or not it has a body.

These normal human abilities may have developed from our animal ancestors, and at their most basic level are extensions of the physical senses. Everyone has them to a greater or lesser degree, and each person can develop his or her natural abilities.

"Intuition" or psychic reading really is just using your clairsenses to pay attention, that is, to access someone's energy field. Every person has an energy field around them which contains a tremendous amount of information about who that person is and therefore about their future. This energy field is essentially the same as the unconscious mind. People cannot help but be themselves at the core, and this information is always accessible to another person who chooses to tune in to that core. The easiest way to do this is to be in communication with your unconscious, which then resonates with the other person's unconscious. We can access our unconscious by entering a meditative state. Meditative states are also called alpha (or theta) states, trance states, hypnosis, or states of altered awareness.

Each person has his or her own natural, unique ways of using the clairsenses. That is, one person may be strongly visual, with a small component of clairsentience, while another may be exclusively clairaudient, and a third may be extremely telepathic. What is important is to notice how YOU naturally get your information, and then use that natural method to get information on demand. That is, there is no one method that works for everyone; the idea is to notice what works for you and practice that. This is where my method differs from all the other methods out there trying to teach everyone to "read" the same way. While a particular approach might work fine for some people, it doesn't work at all for others. My method enables each person to tap into his or her own psychic information in his/her own way.

I was a pretty "normal" child. A little precocious intellectually, but on the whole an ordinary kid. Winnie the Pooh, building blocks, Barbies - the usual stuff. After I gave up walking on stilts, I embarked on 18 years of training in the world of rational thought. I have a bachelor's degree in engineering from Princeton and an MBA from Harvard.

Career-wise, I headed into business and did very well -- computer consulting for one of the premier accounting firms in the country; management of a major retail company; real estate; and restaurant management. I put my analytical skills to work every day puzzling through complicated problems. But I knew there was more than rational thought.

I tuned into my psychic abilities and learned how to use them more effectively, first at Heartsong School of Expanded Perception. Over the years, I have studied with many talented healers and teachers. I've also read widely across the spectrum of philosophy, healing, personality, addiction, spirituality, and alternative paths.

While I worked on a psychic hotline and gave private readings, I refined my own psychic abilities and developed my own methodology for using those abilities to help my clients. Based on what my clients say, it works.

I started out doing chakra readings, which allow me to see who a person is and where he or she is right now. Over the years, I saw so many people facing obstacles that could easily be overcome with the right tools, so I learned additional skills (such as hypnotherapy and neuro-linguistics) and expanded my practice to include counseling based on psychic information. I also developed an intensive 8-week class for people who want to expand their intuitive skills. Throughout this process, my goal has remained clear: to help people get where they want to go.
