"Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better." -Maya Angelou. I believe change begins when when we take the steps to know our version of "better." Each of us is unique, and have different experiences that impact what we know.

“Investing in yourself is the best investment you will ever make. It will not only improve your life, it will improve the lives of all those around you”- Robin Sharma. Robin Sharma's words echo in many ways what occurs within the therapeutic relationship. When we invest in ourselves through the work we do in therapy, we are more likely to make decisions that impact us for the better. This not only improves our quality of life, but it enriches our interactions with others. The ideal client would be an individual who is aware they need change, but are not sure as to how to go about creating it for themselves.
