About Eric

Shortly after graduating from American University in 1993 (B.A. Psychology), my life went through a series of unexpected changes which included the discovery of a deeper spirituality and the study of astrology. My personal revolution and evolution included the decision to drop out of a Ph.D. Psychology program to move to Boulder, CO and study Transpersonal Counseling Psychology at Naropa University. Upon attaining my M.A. in 2001, I committed to a career as an astrological counselor. At that time, I was also studying with astrologer Steven Forrest, who I tutored with for 5 years. In the last 24 years my practice has steadily grown, and I have now published 7 original astrology books.

I see myself as a fellow traveler on the path. As Ram Dass says, “We’re just walking each other home.”  Indeed, we are walking towards greater wholeness — towards more love and depth in the heart, and more expanse in the sky.  My focus is on spiritual awakening, becoming more conscious. I have been particularly influenced by the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi, Eckhart Tolle, Byron Katie, Adyashanti and others.

To me, an astrology chart illustrates a person’s trajectory of awakening. As seen in my books, I have developed a unique approach to assist clients in their process of becoming and realization. My style is to be maximally accessible and to accept others just as they are without pretense. I have a compassionate yet direct approach, and I am fascinated and curious to hear my clients’ experience. My deepest desire is to contribute to a 21st Century astrology incorporating spirituality, science and psychology which empowers the individual to live in co-creative harmony with nature.

After a significant period of traveling and being a nomad, I am now back in Colorado and focused on my work. I am writing, seeing clients and preparing to offer classes again soon. Thank you for stopping by!
