Meet Hazel-Ann
My Approach
I am devoted to providing my clients with empathetic, person-centered therapeutic services. I am interested in working with a range of clients (singles, couples, professionals and college students) in a supportive and non-judgmental environment to address depression, anxiety and stress, and other life issues.
My clients under care can experience a person-centered approach to collaboratively support them in accomplishing goals and overcoming challenges to balance and wellness.
I aim to provide a safe space for clients while supporting them in identifying barriers and encouraging skill development. I am currently a permit holder in Mental Health Counseling under supervision and am committed to maintaining confidentiality and operating under ethical guidelines.
