Description

I am a writer and philosophy lecturer based in the Brooklyn area. I decided to become a Philosophical Counselor after years of teaching college philosophy to have deeper conversations with individuals who have exceptional interest in exploring self-knowledge and the nature of truth. I believe that two people thinking together can unlock just about any of the secrets of the universe. My philosophical motto is "There's nothing you can know that isn't known, nothing you can see that isn't shown."
