You’re thoughtful, self-aware, and used to figuring things out. But there are some things you can’t think your way through—your relationship with food, the way your family still affects you, or the patterns that keep showing up in your relationships.

You need someone who can see past how well you carry it.

I’m Marissa Honjiyo - a licensed marriage and family therapist. I like to describe myself as honest, kind, but no bullshit. I’ll shoot straight from the hip, challenge you when it’s useful, and tell you what I’m noticing. If something is keeping you stuck, we’ll talk about it. If a pattern keeps showing up, we’ll get curious about it together. I take the work seriously and work well with people who think fast, make connections quickly, and want a therapist who can actually keep up.

I specialize in relational trauma and eating disorders. I work with adults who overthink, take on too much responsibility, and keep getting pulled into the same relationship patterns.

In the same way we are hurt in relationship, I also believe that healing happens in relationship. Our work can help you understand yourself more deeply, work through family-of-origin patterns, and build relationships that feel less reactive and more secure.

My approach is grounded in attachment theory, relational therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. I’m also trained in Brainspotting Level 1 and Restoration Therapy Level 2.

If you’re ready to do the work, therapy with me can be a place to stop repeating the same patterns, understand what’s driving them, and create real change.
