When we're faced with problems, our instinct is to solve them with the tools we have. Most of the time that works. But sometimes the drive to fix, control, or push through backfires. When we try to "think positive," "be happy," or "stop worrying," what we're really chasing is control. The tighter we grip it, the more elusive it becomes. Over time that struggle can leave us feeling defeated, isolated, and stuck in a life that feels small. I work with adults across California navigating anxiety, burnout, and the identity questions that follow a major transition: becoming a parent, changing careers, or living between two cultures.
I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which makes space for your experiences rather than fighting them. My style is warm and relational, with room for laughter and vulnerability. I'll ask meaningful questions and gently challenge patterns that no longer serve you. If you're curious where to start, try the free values card sort I built on my website.
Reaching out can be the hardest part, especially if you've been carrying this alone for a while. Whether you're trying therapy for the first time or giving it another shot, I'd be honored to hear your story. If my approach sounds like a fit, reach out for a free consultation. There's no pressure, and I'm happy to answer any questions you might have.

I work especially well with people navigating identity, anxiety, and lack of purpose, often with layers shaped by family dynamics or perfectionism. I also specialize in supporting new dads as they adjust to the challenges of parenthood. Whether you're processing past trauma, burnout, or transitions you did or didn't ask for, my role is to help you get unstuck and feel grounded in yourself again.

Dr. Li's expertise in ACT to treat depression, anxiety, and trauma is only matched by his down to earth, honest, and pragmatic approach. He is capable of balancing great content knowledge with interpersonal warmth, care, and ease. I highly recommend him.

  • Acceptance and Commitment (ACT)
"
Through my practice and my own work, I've found Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to be the most effective, compassionate and consistent approach I use. ACT helps you develop perspective: approaching challenges in new ways, or moving on from the past to live in the here and now. I trained in CBT and still draw on it, though ACT focuses less on disputing thoughts than on how to relate to them.
