Sex Therapy, Intimacy & Erotic Fulfillment
Cultivating Connection, Pleasure, and Sexual Vitality
Sexuality is a vital dimension of human well-being, emotional closeness, and quality of life. Yet, physical changes, performance stress, unaddressed trauma, or relational drift can turn intimacy into a source of anxiety, frustration, or quiet isolation.
My work in sex and intimacy therapy provides a confidential, sophisticated, and deeply non-judgmental environment for both individuals and couples. Whether you are navigating specific functional challenges or seeking to deepen your erotic connection, our work bridges physical function, emotional intimacy, and psychological freedom.
Comprehensive & Functional Care
Sexuality involves a delicate balance between the physical body, the nervous system, and emotional safety. I provide expert guidance across a broad spectrum of sexual concerns, including:
Sexual Function & Performance Anxiety: Addressing erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and performance stress by quieting the body's alarm system and restoring effortless confidence.
Desire Dynamics & Arousal Discrepancy: Helping individuals and couples navigate low libido, mismatched sexual desire, or the natural shift in erotic energy over long-term partnerships.
Somatic Comfort & Pain-Free Intimacy: Supporting individuals through painful intercourse (vaginismus, dyspareunia, or pelvic tension) by integrating gentle nervous system regulation and mind-body awareness.
Trauma-Informed Healing: Gently reprocessing past sexual trauma, bodily shame, or restrictive cultural messaging, helping you reclaim safe, joyful ownership of your body and pleasure.
Expanding Intimacy & Alternative Lifestyles
Intimacy flourishes when couples move beyond mechanical routine and cultivate genuine emotional presence, playfulness, and eroticism.
Fusing Emotional Closeness with Eroticism: Helping partners build a shared language around desire, loving touch, and mutual pleasure—learning how to cultivate deep emotional safety without sacrificing erotic spark.
Alternative Lifestyles & Consensual Non-Monogamy: Offering an informed, open-minded, and affirmative environment for individuals and couples exploring alternative relationship structures, open relationships, polyamory, or BDSM/kink dynamics.
Whether you are seeking to resolve a specific functional concern, heal from past injuries, or expand your capacity for joy and fulfillment, our work offers the privacy, safety, and expertise needed to align your sexual life with your highest personal vision.

Sexual concerns are often connected to communication, emotional intimacy, and individual experiences rather than just physical factors. I work with individuals and couples to better understand these dynamics and create a space where concerns can be explored openly and without judgment.

Piyola Derbarseghian- Sex & Relationship Therapist
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
Sexuality is a vital part of our well-being, yet it’s often the part we feel most alone in. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore concerns like low desire, performance anxiety and issues, pain during sex, out-of-sync libidos, sexual shame, or questions around kink, orientation, or non-monogamy. Whether you're looking to heal, reconnect, or grow, sex therapy can help you cultivate a more fulfilling and authentic sexual self, individually or with a partner(s).
