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:
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.
Forms: 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.
Cancellation Policy:
Therapy is most effective when attended consistently. I encourage open communication about anything that may affect your ability to attend sessions. Whenever possible, I ask that you cancel or reschedule at least one week in advance. Arriving more than 15 minutes after your scheduled appointment time is considered a no-show. Cancellations, reschedules, or no-shows occurring less than 72 hours before your appointment, except in the case of a true emergency, will result in a late cancellation fee (in the amount of a full session fee) charged to the card on file automatically and without prior notice. If you are able to reschedule and attend a session within the same calendar week, I can waive the cancellation fee; however, appointment availability is not guaranteed. For Oregon Health Plan (OHP) clients, the cancellation fee does not apply. However, three or more late cancellations, no-shows, or cancellations made within 72 hours may result in the discontinuation of services.
This cancellation policy is non-negotiable. While I do provide calendar invites as a courtesy, you are responsible for keeping track of your scheduled appointments and providing yourself with any reminders you may need about appointments and regarding the details of this policy. While I understand that unexpected circumstances may arise, this policy helps ensure fairness to all clients and protects the time reserved for your care.
Scheduling & Attendance Policy:
To support meaningful therapeutic progress, I meet with clients at a recurring weekly/biweekly day and time whenever possible. Consistent attendance is an important part of effective therapy, and I reserve your appointment time in advance. If you no-show or cancel a session without rescheduling or confirming our next appointment, I may release your recurring appointment time to another client. I do not offer "as-needed" or "schedule-as-you-go" appointments, and I do not maintain a cancellation list. While last-minute appointments may occasionally be available, they are not guaranteed. Frequent cancellations or rescheduling—even when made with adequate notice—may interfere with treatment and may lead me to reevaluate whether I can continue providing services. If more than one month passes between sessions without a scheduled appointment, your case will be administratively closed. If you are unable to commit to regular appointments, I am happy to provide referrals to providers whose scheduling model may better meet your needs.

Join Your session:
If you have already scheduled an appointment, please review the Telehealth Agreement and Telehealth Etiquette paragraphs before clicking the button below to join your session. You may be prompted to enter the password that was emailed to you at the time of your booking, so please have this password handy.
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 and dressed appropriately. For ethical reasons, please seated and not lying down (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.
