Working with Jody has been essential to regaining my life back, helping build my self confidence, setting boundaries, and guiding me through my everyday struggles. I enjoy her wisdom about life and how she uses humor to break walls down, she doesn’t hesitate to call me out on behaviors, but always offers different perspectives. I was looking for a therapist that understood Hawaiian culture and the dynamic family structures that come with it and I got that support with Jody. I’m in a much better place after a few months, I have so much more to figure out so I look forward to therapy with Jody.

She’s very understanding and connects with you on a different level. Very direct and accurate! She’s very good at what she does!
Highly recommended.
