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.

Licensed School Counselor

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
