Therapist

Virtual • Michigan


As a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree from The National Catholic School of Social Services, I bring extensive experience from my work in university-based teaching hospitals and ambulatory care clinics. My practice focuses on supporting adults and their caregivers through challenges such as anxiety, depression, complex medical conditions (acute and chronic), medical trauma, loss, grief, and significant life transitions.

I have a specialization in guiding individuals and their caregivers through the cancer journey, encompassing every phase—from diagnosis and treatment to recovery, survivorship, and end-of-life care. I have also worked extensively with patients undergoing stem cell transplants, CAR-T and immunotherapy.

My training and experience also includes helping individuals manage disorders of the brain-gut interaction. Support, education and strategies address the connection between the mind and gastrointestinal health. Recognizing that everyday stressors can greatly affect your well-being, I adapt my clinical approach to suit a variety of life situations, always tailoring care to meet your unique needs.

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.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 13 years of experience in behavioral health, including more than a decade as a psychiatric registered nurse. I earned my post-master’s certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from the University of Cincinnati and hold a Master of Science in Nursing with a focus in Clinical Nurse Specialist and Nursing Education from the University of Detroit Mercy.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds in outpatient, residential, correctional, and community-based settings.

Therapist

You might look like you have it together, but internally you’re overthinking everything, overgiving in relationships, and second-guessing yourself constantly. Many of my clients learned early on to prioritize others’ emotions, and now feel stuck, anxious, or unsure of what they actually want. I help you understand these patterns and break out of them so you can feel more confident, grounded, and clear in your relationships.
