About Darryl
He works with people facing trauma, relationship problems, substance use concerns, and major life transitions. Darryl often uses cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches to help people change unhelpful patterns and build coping skills. He also draws on existential ideas to help clients find meaning when life feels uncertain.
Across his career he has supported people connected to systems like Child Welfare Services, family courts, and public safety departments. That work informed his practical focus on clear problem-solving, safety planning, and addressing day-to-day challenges that get in the way of recovery.
Sessions tend to be interactive and skills-oriented. Clients can expect straightforward strategies for mood regulation, communication, and relapse prevention when relevant. Darryl describes his style as culturally aware and compassionate, aiming to meet each person where they are.
He earned a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Gonzaga University in 2003 and has continued practicing in Hawaii since then. People looking for help with grief, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD, or anger can discuss those concerns and plan a focused course of work together.
