Preparing for Your Appointment:
This page provides essential information about scheduling, what to expect, and how to prepare for your therapy sessions. Please review these details carefully to ensure a smooth and productive experience. If you’re ready to commit to your healing journey, this is where it begins.
New Clients:
Before booking your first session, please make sure you have completed your Interest form and your Intake paperwork here. Note: Forms may take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. There will be a short questionnaire before booking your session. Please ensure that you are in a private, distraction-free space, have an adequate internet connection, and have working software and hardware before the time of your appointment. When you are ready to book your first appointment, please click here or use the calendar at the bottom of this page. You may join your first session here or by clicking the "Join Your Scheduled Telehealth Session" button at the bottom of this page.
Regarding initial consultations: Unlike some therapists, I don't routinely offer initial consultations. I am, however, happy to offer a free 20-minute consultation upon special request. If you would like to request a consultation, please send an email to info@dynamic-therapy-alliance.com . Otherwise, please complete the Interest Form and I will follow-up with you.
Scheduling & Availability:
To provide consistent, high-quality care and to support meaningful therapeutic progress, I work with clients on a weekly basis at a recurring day and time. This model allows us to build a reliable therapeutic rhythm that benefits both the client and the process. At this time, I do not offer “as-needed” or drop-in sessions, nor do I maintain a cancellation or on-call list for sporadic appointments. If you’re looking for more flexible, variable, one-time, or short-term support, I’m happy to refer you to colleagues or services better suited to that approach.
Cancellation Policy:
Therapy is most effective when attended consistently, and we encourage open communication about anything that may impact your ability to participate in services. To help us provide quality care and manage our schedule effectively, we ask that you cancel or reschedule appointments at least one week in advance whenever possible. Cancellations or reschedules made less than 72 hours before your appointment—except in the case of a true emergency—will result in a late cancellation fee of $185.00, charged to the card on file. Because regular attendance is essential to your progress, repeated late cancellations or reschedules may result in the termination of services.
For Oregon Health Plan (OHP) clients: While the cancellation fee does not apply, three or more late cancellations (within less than 72 hours) may result in the discontinuation of services.
Please note that this cancellation policy is non-negotiable. We understand that life is unpredictable, and we aim to approach each situation with empathy. However, this policy ensures fairness and consistency for all clients and helps protect the time we’ve reserved for your care.

Telehealth Agreement:
Online therapy involves the use of technology, which may occasionally experience disruptions due to internet connectivity issues. Challenges with hardware, software, equipment, or third-party services can lead to service interruptions. I cannot control internet reliability or availability and cannot guarantee that these services will function without issues. If technical problems interfere with a scheduled session and it cannot be completed via video conferencing, please contact us immediately at info@dynamic-therapy-alliance.com. It is your responsibility to ensure you are in a secure, private location during sessions to maintain confidentiality. Audio or video recording of any session is not allowed by you, Dynamic Therapy Alliance, LLC, or any other party without prior consent. All information shared in sessions, as well as related written records, will remain confidential and will only be disclosed with written permission, except as required by law.
Telehealth Etiquette:
You may be at home and in what feels like a casual setting when attending a video session, and I hope telehealth provides you with the comfort and ease that an office visit might not provide. With that in mind, I am, however, “at work” when we meet and therefore expect that you do not do anything during a video session that you would not do if you were physically sitting in my office. For example: Please come to video sessions fully clothed, dressed appropriately, and seated in an upright position (as you are able). If you cannot attend a session as such, please speak with me beforehand to make special arrangements. To avoid cancellation of your session, please speak with me in advance if you plan to have another individual attend your session or who will be present in the room with you at any time during our session. For your safety and for the best service delivery possible, please do not engage in the following during a telehealth session: Operate a motor vehicle or bicycle, smoke/vape/consume substances, multitask (do housework, etc.). Please do not use your device (s) during the session for anything unrelated to your treatment.
