Working with Jonnet has been one of the most meaningful and healing experiences of my life. From the very beginning, she created a space that felt safe, respectful, and deeply supportive — something that is essential when working through my family trauma. Her ability to listen without judgment, ask thoughtful questions, and gently guide conversations has helped me understand patterns and experiences I had carried for years without fully processing. She is able to balance empathy with insight in a way that feels empowering rather than overwhelming, and I always leave sessions feeling clearer, lighter, and more grounded. What truly sets her apart is how attuned and present she is. I never feel rushed or dismissed, and it’s clear that she genuinely cares about my well-being and growth. She has helped me build healthier boundaries, develop self-compassion, and find peace in places that once felt heavy and painful. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and professionalism, and I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone seeking healing, clarity, or support through family trauma or personal growth. This work has had a profound and lasting impact on my life.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Jonnet is a great listener and is extremely helpful.
Jonnet, is very personable and a great listener. I feel relief at being heard, validated and get a sense of calm after each of our sessions. She feels like a friend with a professional skill set. Time spent in therapy with her has proven invaluable.
Attentive and great listener
Knowledgeable
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.
Jonnet is an active listener and is skillful at guiding our conversation to fit my needs and interests
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!
I am so grateful for the presence Jonnet has when we meet. I feel heard and understood. She helps me process in a deep way so I always feel lighter when the session is complete.
