Infertility Therapists in Hillsboro, OR

Infertility is a disease of the male or female reproductive system defined by the failure to achieve a pregnancy causing profound mental health challenges (anxiety, depression, grief, and emotional trauma). Adoption can be an option to family planning. It is a legal process that permanently transfers all parental rights and responsibilities from a child’s birth parents to adoptive parents. Navigating the system can be challenging and stressful. I had issues with infertility and I have adopted a child.

I seek to support clients through issues of infertility or adoption.

As the adoptive mother of a teen and half of a couple diagnosed with unresolved infertility, I understand the unique experiences of alternative pathways to growing families. I'm here for you, whether you're still considering options (including remaining childless), actively navigating family planning challenges, or in a process of grieving lost dreams - and maybe discovering new opportunities.

We provide space to process the grief, hope, loss, and complexity of infertility or adoption journeys. Therapy supports emotional resilience through uncertain and deeply personal transitions

In therapy, I support individuals and couples navigating the grief, uncertainty, and identity shifts that often accompany infertility and adoption. Our work centers on meaning-making, emotional regulation, and deepening relational support through these complex experiences.

Hillsboro is home to Intel's largest site and the anchor of Oregon's Silicon Forest technology corridor, hosting a dense concentration of semiconductor, electronics, and technology companies that makes it one of the most significant tech manufacturing hubs in the United States. The city has grown substantially as a result of tech sector employment and has a notably diverse population including significant Latino and Asian communities alongside the technical workforce, many of whom have relocated for Intel or other tech employment. Washington County Mental Health provides public behavioral health services, and a growing private therapy sector serves the professional community. Common therapy concerns include tech industry stress and burnout, immigration and acculturation for the city's large immigrant workforce, economic anxiety amid semiconductor industry cycles, and the relocation and community-building challenges of a workforce that has often moved significant distances for career opportunities.
