Experience: (background and professional journey) 

For over 17 years, Darrell has dedicated his career to caring for others as a Registered Nurse, and his passion for helping people has only grown from there. 

When the COVID-19 pandemic exposed just how critical and how underserved mental health care truly was, Darrell knew it was time to expand the way he could show up for his patients. He pursued advanced training at California Baptist University as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and never looked back. 

Today, Darrell is a board-certified PMHNP offering comprehensive mental health evaluations and medication management. He believes that getting the right support should feel empowering, not intimidating — so he works hard to create a warm, non-judgmental space where clients feel genuinely seen and heard. Darrell is passionate about reducing the stigma around mental health and meets every patient with openness, curiosity, and care. 

Drawing on cognitive behavioral strategies and a holistic approach to wellness, Darrell partners with his patients to untangle life's challenges, build meaningful coping skills, and find their way back to balance. Whether you're navigating grief, anxiety, depression, or simply feeling stuck, Darrell is here to help you move forward and be your best.
