Therapist

Virtual • Michigan


I hold two clinical credentials: an LPC and a QIDP — a Qualified Intellectual Disability Professional — which means my clinical training extends across a wide range of presentations, and I bring that breadth to every client I see.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, maternal mental health, infertility, grief, relationship stress, and the complicated emotions that come with life transitions like divorce and parenthood. I believe you already have the strengths to get through this — my job is to help you find and build on them.

My style is laid back and warm, with a sense of humor that tends to take the edge off. You deserve a therapist you can actually talk to, and I take that seriously.

You’ve been through enough. Now it’s time to rediscover the person you were always meant to be. I believe true healing begins when we care for the whole person—not just the problem. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. I work with individuals who are ready to heal, grow, and create meaningful change. Clients may seek counseling for anxiety, depression, trauma, or feeling stuck and uncertain about their next steps. You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I’m here to meet you where you are, listen with intention, and support you as you work toward healing, growth, and wellness. When you’re ready, I invite you to take that first step toward healing and positive change.

Therapist

With more than thirty-one years in the mental health field, I bring both deep experience and a genuinely warm, unconditional presence to every session. I've had the privilege of working with people at every stage of life — from children as young as three to adults in their late nineties — across settings as varied as military bases, schools, residential programs, nursing facilities, and outpatient clinics. I earned both my bachelor's and master's degrees from the Indiana School of Social Work at IUPUI.

I believe every person has inherent value in this world, and I show up fully in your corner. My approach is collaborative — I work alongside you. Outside of the therapy room, I'm a proud mom of three and grandmother of five (my greatest joys), a dog and cat owner, and someone who recharges through travel, gardening, live music, and time in the outdoors. That human life informs how I connect with the people I work with.

Something often gets lost between what you're carrying and how you talk about it. For clients who find it easier in Spanish, or who want a therapist who works with mind and body together, that gap can feel especially wide. I'm Roxanna, a bilingual (Spanish/English) social worker in Michigan with an integrative, eclectic approach. I work with children, teens, adults, and seniors navigating anxiety, depression, relationship strain, cultural and identity pressures, and more. Whether you speak English, Spanish, or move between both, all of you is welcome here. I would love to be that space.
