Treatment in Marbella (Spain)

I am a CBT therapist with extensive experience from work in addiction, crime and mental illness since the year 2000. I have worked both in social services, correctional services, addiction treatment and as a therapist in treatment homes. With my own experience with the disease of addiction, I am today a recovering alcoholic and as part of Satori’s team I offer both group and individual treatment.

With great humility and heart, is my foundation in CBT – cognitive behavioural therapy and the 12-step program.
I have a background in behavioural science university degree, training in ACT-acceptance and commitment theory, MI-motivational interviewing, supervisor training and NADA-acupuncture. For the past 11 years, I have worked as Operations Manager within private addiction treatment for adults and in family home care for children and young people.

I feel extremely grateful to be part of the team at Satori Recovery, which exudes care, professionalism and has a collective solid experience. With elements of spirituality, and a wonderful environment, Satori is a safe place for recovery.
