Bio

After completing degree in psychology, my professional experience has been focused in two aspects: treatment and rehabilitation of addictions and unhealthy behaviour, and in prevention / maintenance of healthy life stiles either with children or adolescents, or with adults, in educational and professional orientation. I enjoy work that is challenging and allows me to use creativity, sense of humour and establishment of interpersonal relationships.

I'm passionate about

Brain; imagination; recycling; Dogs; second chances; Internet

An idea worth spreading

We spend the SAME ENERGY worrying and feeling bad than in well being, in spite of all that's always missing.

Areas of expertise

Psychology (general)

The TED story

I have many ideas. I remember my dreams almost everyday. People around usually call when they need an idea for an name; a title; an excuse; a work; a surprise; a gift; a joke. My life story has been spent in looking for a work/project/plan to put in practice the thing I treasure most: my imagination, the brain,. This is not really a story. It´s my life story!
