| Português Through my work for non profit, public and private sectors, I have developed an unrelenting passion for helping children, adolescents, and adults overcome life's many challenges. I consider it a privilege to have treated these populations from a variety of backgrounds with an equally varied mental health conditions. I have worked with juvenile sex offenders, juvenile delinquents, foster children, chronically mentally ill, and criminally insane, couples, to name a few. Although, their problems were different, their goals were the same, to live a life filled with happiness self sufficiency and success.I have been working in an underserved community.
