Hi, I’m Bria Tavakoli.

You're navigating complex questions about sex, love, and intimacy—and you're ready for more clarity, connection, and confidence.
Maybe you're feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Maybe your relationship is struggling under the weight of mismatched desire, resentment, or emotional disconnection. Or maybe you're carrying shame, confusion, or trauma around sex, and it’s getting in the way of your ability to feel joy, trust, or embodied pleasure.

You might be someone who’s trying to untangle your sexual identity or behaviors—including struggles with “porn addiction” or out-of-control sexual behavior (OCSB). Or you might be a woman ready to reclaim your voice, rebuild self-esteem, and create relationships that reflect your worth. You may be in a relationship where power dynamics, communication breakdowns, or emotional-physical mismatches have you wondering: Is there a better way to do this? Does this have to be so hard?

You're not broken. But you may be in need of skilled, compassionate support—and a space where you can tell the truth, ask the big questions, and begin to rewire old relational and nervous system patterns.

As a sex and relationship therapist, I specialize in helping individuals and couples move through challenges around desire, erotic shame, communication, and intimacy. I’m here to support you in finding deeper connection—with yourself, your partner(s), your body, your heart, and your own internal truth.

I work with clients from diverse relational structures and lived experiences. My practice is sex-positive, LGBTQ+ allied, kink-aware, and sex worker friendly. You're welcome here, exactly as you are.

In addition to talk therapy, I offer psychedelic preparation and integration services for clients who are working with altered states of consciousness outside of therapy. This work can be especially powerful for those healing from sexual trauma, exploring embodied pleasure, or seeking spiritual clarity in their relational life.

My approach draws from attachment theory, Internal Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Brainspotting (a trauma-processing modality similar to EMDR), all supported by 17+ years of experience as a yoga and meditation teacher. If helpful to your process, I can bring mindfulness and somatic awareness into our sessions to help you build nervous system resilience and a more loving relationship with your body. I’m big on practical tools you can take out of our sessions and into your real-world life to create more happiness, connection, and healing.

As the daughter of an immigrant and a purity culture dropout, I know how deeply our personal, cultural, and spiritual histories shape the way we move through the world—and through relationships. I offer a space that honors the complexity of your story while helping you move toward greater liberation, self-trust, and authentic connection.

Whatever you're carrying—whatever you're ready to explore—I offer a grounded, nonjudgmental space for your full self to be met. We’ll work collaboratively to understand your patterns, shift stuck dynamics, and help you build a more fulfilling, authentic, and connected life. If you’re good with some compassionate straight talk, a bit of humor, and a lot of real talk about things most people don’t say out loud, reach out and we can discuss possible next steps.
