I entered the field of psychotherapy because I knew I wanted to do better than the generations before me. I firmly believe that even though we may not all be doing the best we can, we are all doing the best that we know how to. Maya Angelou famously said:
“Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.”
Therapy can make things better now and for generations to come. I focus with my clients on identifying the patterns that they want to change; the thoughts and behaviors that no longer serve their best interest. Then, when we know better, we can do better.
