BPD
Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist & Psychoanalyst
What is often labeled as “borderline” or a "personality disorder" reflects adaptations to early relational environments that were chronically intense and inconsistent, not a defective person. Heightened emotional sensitivity and fears around closeness often develop as ways of staying connected and safe.
In therapy, we focus on understanding how these patterns show up in the present, especially in relationships that matter. Over time, this work supports greater emotional stability, depth, and a more secure sense of self rather than short-term symptom control.

Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Living with intense emotions can feel exhausting. You may experience overwhelming fears of abandonment, difficulty trusting others, rapid shifts in emotions, relationship struggles, or a constant fear of being left, rejected, or misunderstood.
Many people feel ashamed of these experiences or believe something is wrong with them.
In reality, these patterns often make sense in the context of attachment wounds, relational trauma, and painful life experiences.
Together, we'll work to better understand these patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, improve relationships, and help you feel more stable, secure, and connected.

Sandy Kong
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 119380
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) can be a hugely mis-conceptualized disorder. Since it's root problem stems from attachment, therapy is relational. Clients learn how to develop a healthy, secure, and safe relationship with themselves and with a safe adult (therapist), sometimes for the first time. Clients learn to unpack, understand, and increase awareness to how their attachment styles impacts their emotions, their thoughts, and their behavior. Learning how to build a better foundation by restructuring certain thoughts and behaviors, while also regulating emotions, setting boundaries, and developing effective communication skills is.

Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I take an Ambivalent Attachment perspective, meaning that my view of BPD is that is a more severe expression of an Ambivalent Attachment style. In sessions, I will maintain a safe and predictable environment, supporting a space for each of us to be in charge of our own stories and emotional states. I'll be gentle in nonverbal and verbal communication, and, will model personal boundaries between and in sessions. We may incorporate EMDR or parts work into a primarily DARE approach of being with the felt-sense of connection, highlighting what feels safe and unsafe, trusting and mistrusting, predicable and chaotic. From a place of safe connection, we'll revisit the wounded parts from your past with nurturing openness and adaptability, while maintaining integrity and authenticity of your Core Self.

We work with this from a trauma and dyadic or family systems parts work perspective or attachment trauma recovery framework, and or a functional health perspective depending on whether the expression seems to stem from trauma, relational/systemic adaptation, or physiological impacts. For example, often BPD is an adaptive response to living or being in intensive proximity with someone with NPD, so in that case the approach might be more dyadic/systems parts work based. Please feel free to ask if you have further questions.

San Francisco's extreme housing costs and the psychological toll of the tech industry — characterized by intense performance pressure, rapid layoff cycles, and boom-bust uncertainty — have made burnout, anxiety, and economic grief among the most common presenting concerns. The city has a historically significant LGBTQ+ community, and affirming therapists specializing in gender identity, queer relationships, and HIV-related concerns remain an important part of the local therapy landscape. UCSF Health provides world-class institutional mental health resources, while the city's dense network of independent practitioners reflects a culture that has long embraced therapy as a normal and valued part of life. Telehealth has expanded access significantly for Bay Area residents commuting from Oakland, the East Bay, and the Peninsula.
