Individuals with borderline personality disorder often experience intense emotions, relationship instability, and a deep sensitivity to connection and loss.

BPD
Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Living with borderline personality disorder can involve intense emotions, fear of abandonment, an uncertain sense of self, and relationship patterns that feel painful or difficult to change. These struggles do not define who you are, and healing is possible with compassionate, consistent support.
Using DBT-informed and trauma-responsive care, I help clients strengthen emotional regulation, tolerate distress, communicate needs, establish healthy boundaries, and develop more stable relationships. Together, we work to replace shame and reactivity with self-understanding, inner security, and healthier ways of responding to life’s challenges.

BPD
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.
