Hi, I'm Eli, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who works with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I specialize in anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable being fully yourself. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and never judged, while also being supported in making real, meaningful changes in your life.
Clients often share that they feel at ease talking with me, but also appreciate that I’m honest and help them look at things in new ways. I’m not here to just nod along. I’m here to help you understand yourself more deeply, recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and figure out what actually works for you moving forward.
I take a collaborative approach, which means we work together to make sense of your experiences and build tools that fit your life. Therapy does not have to feel cold or overly clinical. It can be a space that feels genuine, supportive, and even a little lighter at times, while still doing the deeper work.
I am a pilgrim in progress, a man of faith, a student of people, a mental health counselor, and an avid lover of stories. I am grateful to have a Bachelor of Science in Religion from Liberty University, and both a Master's of Divinity and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Reformed Theological Seminary. Professionally, I have worked with individuals and families from a variety of backgrounds including: grief, trauma, gender and sexuality, addiction, faith and spirituality, anxiety, depression, and behavioral disorders (ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, etc.). I have served clients across a variety of ages, children to adults both in clinical settings and also in community (professional Christian ministry) settings.

Hey all! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a passion for helping my clients gain a deeper love and understanding of self at a foundational level. I enjoy assisting my clients in cultivating a better awareness of triggers that often appear in their lives, as well as in prompting client exploration regarding narratives that have been carried for too long. My main goal is to facilitate overall client healing and empowerment!
Begin your healing journey with me and find peace in accepting who you are. With more than five years of counseling experience in educational settings, community agencies, and private practice, I am equipped and ready to support children, adults, and their families.
I specialize in working with couples that want a stronger relationship, kids hurting from divorce, angry teens, frustrated parents and individuals looking to find purpose in life. Also, for those whose work schedules may interfere with their availability, I do offer evenings and weekend sessions.
Every person is unique and has a personal story to tell. My focus is the client and use a multi-modal approach to walk alongside each individual that enters the therapy setting, empowering clients to become the best version of themself. Whether individuals are managing LGBTQ+ issues, Trauma/PTSD, Grief/Loss, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar, Substance Abuse, Personality Disorders, or other life challenge, allow me to meet you on your journey, and help you discover the amazing individual within.
I believe we were made for wholeness, connection, and purpose but live in a world in which we often experience fragmentation, isolation, and futility.
I am passionate about taking this journey with you through those experiences towards a life of freedom and courage. After 12 years of working in a variety of cross-cultural settings with people of different ages and backgrounds, I integrates my experiences with my counseling training to walk with teens, adults, and couples in this process.
My area of focus is with high-achieving adults and athletes who seek self-discovery, optimal performance and skillfully practicing the art of living well. Having grown up in a high achieving environment, becoming one myself and then raising my own high achievers. I have intimate knowledge of the highs and lows and the guilt and shame that follow. There is a way to have a "balanced" life. "You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf." - Jon Kabat-Zinn

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Sanford
Finding therapists in Sanford starts with knowing what kind of support and fit you want. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or stress. As you compare Sanford therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match your needs. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions, communicate, and approach care.
Sanford is a smaller city, so nearby in-person options may vary by neighborhood and schedule. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Florida. As you narrow your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare approach, availability, and fit in one place.
Therapy in Sanford can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
