Guiding Hands. Healing Hearts. Building Futures.

Welcome! BC Helping Hands, LLC is honored to support individuals, families, children, and future clinicians on their journey toward healing and growth. With over 16 years of experience in mental health services, I specialize in working with children and teens facing a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and developmental challenges.

As a licensed clinical social worker and experienced school social worker, I bring a deep understanding of the unique needs of diverse families. My passion lies in creating a safe, compassionate, and culturally responsive space where children (ages 0–17), individuals, and their families can thrive.

My approach to therapy

Through evidence-based approaches—such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), play-centered therapy, and the RUMERTIME method—I help clients build resilience, self-awareness, and healthier relationships. We will work together to create lasting change and a brighter future.

What you can expect from me

My goal is to help clients develop healthier patterns, build self-awareness and resilience, and foster deeper connections in their relationships. I’m passionate about creating a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where families feel heard, supported, and empowered as we work together toward their goals.
