Living with chronic pain or illness can deeply affect many parts of your life, including your intimate relationships. Desire discrepancy, where partners experience mismatched levels of sexual interest, is common but can feel especially challenging when managing ongoing health issues. As a therapist who also lives with chronic illness, I understand how physical limitations, fatigue, and emotional strain can impact desire and connection. I work remotely throughout Colorado, North Carolina, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas, and Tennessee to help individuals and couples navigate these challenges with compassion and practical support.
