I want my resume to be so shiny that it blinds the reader (metaphorically, of course).

Psychotherapist (RPQ) - CCMF and AMD Psychotherapy

(2024-05)

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with experience at CCMF and AMD Psychotherapy, providing intake, assessment, treatment planning, and ongoing therapy. My approach draws from existential, narrative, solution-focused, and psychoanalytic therapy, alongside Socratic dialogue, philosophy, and the tailored use of movies and thought experiments to help clients put language to conflict, meaning struggles, and emotional distress.

Supervisor/Cashier/Cook - KFC/Taco Bell

(2014-07 - 2017-11)

• Mastered all positions within a year, so I was then "promoted" to shift supervisor.

Security Guard - Multiple

(2016-11)

• Worked across multiple security sites, sometimes at once, which gave me broad perspective on people, systems, and operations. Late-night shifts also gave me ample time for contemplation, sharpening the patience and observation that complemented my psychotherapeutic approach.

(2019-01 - 2021-02)

• I volunteered at Southlake Regional Health Centre and Christian Horizons, working with elderly patients as well as individuals with physical and mental disabilities.
