Hi, I’m Daryl!

Welcome to my page! I hope this helps you determine whether I might be a good fit for you as a therapist. Having benefited from therapy myself over the years helps me appreciate the courage it takes to reach out, whether for yourself, your partner relationship, or your family. Although you may be stuck or struggling in the circumstances you find yourself in, reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness!

My life’s passion has been to come alongside others in the journey of personal and relational growth. For twenty years, I’ve done this as a pastor, helping individuals, couples, families and groups explore identity, meaning, connection, and purpose in their lives. Joining the Exhale Team has given me the opportunity to focus my passion for healing and wholeness on helping more people along their wellness journey.

I believe the optimal conditions for healing and growth involve an environment of safety and trust in which a client feels seen, heard and understood. With individuals, couples and families, I aim to increase awareness and understanding by helping clients discover and share their feelings, needs and desires. I’m here to facilitate the journey for whatever needs and goals brings clients to me, checking in with them often to make sure we are on track.

When I’m not at Exhale, my own self-care journey takes me in several directions, whether alone or with my partner and children. Mountain biking and trail running, woodworking and gardening, playing guitar and singing, they all have some place in the balance of my life. Through mindfulness practice, I've been learning more and more to be still, to live in the present moment, and embrace the mystery and adventure of life.
