Therapy for ADHD, Anxiety & Identity Exploration in Oregon
Hi! I’m Laney
You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re not too much.
You're navigating a world that wasn’t designed for the way your brain works and I’m here to help.
I specialize in working with Millennial and Gen-Z adults who are smart, creative, and deeply feeling—and who are often exhausted by their own inner critic, perfectionism, and difficulty focusing or following through.

Therapy That Meets You Where You Are
I offer online therapy in Oregon for adults with ADHD and anxiety—because your healing doesn’t need to happen under fluorescent lights in a stuffy office.
ADHD Therapy
I help people build sustainable systems, strengthen executive functioning, and learn how to work with your brain instead of against it.
Common Themes:
Chronic Overwhelm and Burnout
"I can never catch up."
"Everyone else seems to handle life better than I do."
"I'm exhausted all the time."
Executive dysfunction
Miss deadlines
Struggle with follow-through
Forget responsibilities
Have difficulty organizing tasks
Feel stuck despite good intentions
Anxiety and overthinking
Racing thoughts
Catastrophizing
Difficulty making decisions
Constant worry about forgetting something
Fear of disappointing others
Low Self-Esteem and Self-Criticism
Years of receiving messages like:
"You're not trying hard enough."
"You're so smart, if only you'd apply yourself."
"You just need to be more organized."
Masking and Identity Exhaustion
Masking may look like:
Over-preparing
Over-performing
Constant people-pleasing
Mimicking neurotypical behaviors
Eventually clients ask:
"Who am I underneath all of this?"
"Why am I so exhausted?"
Emotional Dysregulation
Many clients struggle with:
Intense emotions
Rejection sensitivity
Frustration
Shame spirals
Feeling emotions "too much"
Relationship Difficulties
Common concerns include:
Forgetting to text back
Feeling misunderstood
Difficulty communicating needs
Conflict around chores and responsibilities
Fear of abandonment
People-pleasing
Many clients worry they are "bad partners," "bad friends," or "too much."
Career, School, and Life Direction
Gen Z adults are often navigating:
College
Graduate school
Early careers
Job changes
Financial stress
ADHD can make these transitions feel especially overwhelming.
Common themes:
Difficulty choosing a path
Feeling stuck
Fear of failure
Imposter syndrome
Perfectionism and Fear of Failure
Many ADHD adults appear highly motivated but are actually immobilized by perfectionism.
They may:
Procrastinate because the task feels overwhelming
Avoid starting unless they can do it perfectly
Spend excessive time revising
Fear making mistakes
The result is often paralysis rather than productivity.
Understanding Themselves After a Late Diagnosis
Many Gen Z adults are diagnosed in late adolescence or adulthood.
Therapy often becomes a place to process:
Relief
Grief
Anger
Confusion
Questions frequently include:
"What would my life have looked like if I'd known sooner?"
"How much of my struggles are ADHD?"
"Who am I now?"
This process often involves rebuilding self-understanding and self-compassion.
