Attentive and great listener
Written on Dec 14, 2024 after therapy with Jonnet for 1 year and 3 months on issues concerning grief, and anger management
Just had my first voice session. It was great, she was very welcoming and understanding. Definitely made me want to continue sessions with her and I’ve already scheduled my next.
She also gave a lot of suggestions for what I can do to help and further repair my current situation despite this being our first meeting. 9/10 would recommend.

We are perfectly matched, super grateful for her. I love that she's native to Hawaii and able to help me understand the culture and I just feel her love- in the most professional way!

This is the first therapist I have truly felt comfortable with. Explaining my past experiences and relationships is difficult and not having someone you trust makes it even more so, grateful that I can trust Jonnet.

Jonnet has been an excellent therapist. Being considerate of my thoughts and feelings as well as helping and guiding me through personal issues and life struggles. Her ability to understand, relate, and process everything I have discussed with her has helped me so much. She is an excellent therapist!
