BPD
Danielle Esses
Psychologist, PsyD
Borderline personality disorder often involves intense emotions, painful relationship patterns, fear of abandonment, impulsivity, or feeling unsure of who you are. I have advanced training in DBT, the gold-standard treatment for BPD. Treatment focuses on helping you better understand these patterns, build more effective coping strategies, and create greater stability in your emotions and relationships.

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
Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst
What is often pathologized 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 with me, we can 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.
