Advent Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT (R.N.-retired)
Even welcome change can unsettle our foundations. Career shifts, relationship changes, an empty nest, retirement, relocation — whatever transition you find yourself in, we will seek God's guidance together, attend to what you are leaving behind, and move forward with clarity and confidence in His purpose for you.

Elena Duong
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Life transitions, even the ones we choose, can be unexpectedly difficult. It’s important to remember struggling during these moments isn’t a sign of failure—it’s a natural response to change. Be patient with yourself, allow space for emotions, and resist the urge to rush the process. Growth doesn’t happen all at once, and neither does adjustment. Treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding you would offer someone else navigating a big shift.

J. Rosalyn Diehl
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, LPPC, LPC
Life transitions can bring uncertainty, stress, and shifts in how you see yourself and your relationships. Whether you're navigating changes in a relationship, career, or family dynamic, you may find yourself feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of what comes next. I help women process these changes, gain clarity, and move forward with greater confidence, emotional well-being, and a stronger sense of self.

Jaclyn Epstein-Calvert
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Life transitions can bring both opportunity and uncertainty. I work with adults and parents who are navigating major changes such as becoming a parent, shifts in relationships, career changes, relocation, or other periods of personal growth and adjustment. Even positive changes can create stress, self-doubt, or a sense of feeling ungrounded.
In therapy, we create space to slow down and make sense of these transitions. My approach integrates relational and neuroscience-informed perspectives to help clients better understand their emotional responses, clarify what matters most to them, and move through change with greater confidence and self-understanding. Together, we work to build resilience and support clients in navigating new chapters in a way that feels authentic and aligned with their values.

Danielle Esses
Psychologist, PsyD
Periods of change—even positive ones—can bring uncertainty, anxiety, or a sense of losing your footing. Therapy focuses on helping you make sense of what’s shifting, stay grounded through the transition, and move forward in a way that feels intentional rather than reactive.

Santa Clara is at the heart of Silicon Valley, home to the global headquarters of major technology companies and a dense ecosystem of tech employers whose high-performance culture creates the well-documented mental health challenges of the sector—burnout, imposter syndrome, and the chronic stress of working at the frontier of global competition. The city is exceptionally diverse, with large South Asian and East Asian communities representing a significant proportion of the workforce, and the cultural dimensions of mental health stigma and help-seeking within these communities shape how therapy is accessed. Santa Clara University's Jesuit tradition contributes a values-oriented approach to student well-being, and the university's counseling center serves its student population. Common therapy concerns include tech industry burnout, anxiety, bicultural identity and acculturation stress, relationship difficulties, and the financial pressure of one of the most expensive housing markets in the country.
