Counseling

Hello Knights! My name is Adrianne Turnbow and I am a school counselor at Oak Park Preparatory Academy. This is my third year as a school counselor. 

I received my bachelor's degree from Wayne State University in Elementary Education. After completing my bachelor's degree, I worked as a classroom teacher within the Detroit Public School system for five years. 

From these experiences, I decided to pursue a degree that would allow me to help children become more successful students, work with them to help them effectively deal with a variety of problems and inspire them to do their personal best in their lives. I graduated from Grand Valley State University with my Master’s in Education with a major in counseling. 

I believe all students should have access to a high quality-education and I am committed to helping all students reach their full academic, social, and emotional potential. I am excited to work with all the students and families at OPPA and look forward to meeting all of you.

Hello! My name is Erin B. Williams, and I proudly serve as a Counselor at Oak Park Preparatory Academy.

I’d like to take a moment to share a bit about myself. I was born and raised in Detroit and am a proud graduate of Cass Technical High School. I went on to earn my Bachelor's Degree from Southern University and A&M College in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where I attended on an athletic scholarship—for bowling! Yes, bowling!

I later earned my Master’s Degree in Counseling from Wayne State University in 2013. My professional background includes experience in the mental health field, where I worked as a Clinical Therapist before making the transition to school counseling in 2017.

In 2020, I became a proud member of the Blue Knight family. Now in my 9th year as a School Counselor, I continue to be deeply passionate about supporting and empowering middle school students during this important stage of their development.

Should you need to contact me, my email is erin.williams@opsk12.org. Email is the preferred method of communication. If you would like to meet in person, please schedule an appointment in advance, as walk-in availability is limited.

For the Children, 

Ms. Erin B. Williams, MA, SCL, LPC    Licensed School Counselor

Greetings, Oak Park Knights! I’m absolutely thrilled to serve as the school counselor at OPPA. Being a school counselor is more than a profession it’s my purpose and passion.

My journey in school counseling began over a decade ago, and it has been a rewarding experience every step of the way. I earned my Bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan–Ann Arbor and later completed my Master’s in School and Agency Counseling at Wayne State University. I’m both a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified School Counselor, deeply committed to supporting students as they discover the power of setting measurable, attainable goals.

I firmly believe that student success is not only rooted in the school environment, but also in the strength of support and resources provided by the larger community. That’s why I maintain an open-door policy for all students and families, I’m here to listen, guide, and support.

I look forward to partnering with you and continuing to serve the OPPA community!

Warmly,
Rosalyn Jones M.A., LPC, SCL
School Counselor
