About Maureen Ryan

As a nurse practitioner and sexuality counselor, I believe that love and intimacy are essential to human happiness. Through confidential virtual sessions, I support individuals and couples in overcoming barriers to sexual satisfaction, allowing for deeper connections and enhanced love and affection.

Intimacy challenges can occur at various stages of  life. Childbirth, work-life stress, menopause, cancer treatments, and aging can all contribute to or intensify obstacles to sexual satisfaction, resulting in undue pain.  

In a confidential, supportive, and non-judgmental setting, my clients address a range of sexual dysfunctions such as decreased sexual drive, performance anxiety, premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, and excessive use of sexually explicit material. 

I hold a Doctorate in Nursing Practice and am dual licensed as an Adult Health Nurse Practitioner (AHNP) and Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner (WHNP). Additionally, I am an AASECT Certified Sexuality Counselor (CSC) and am a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC).

As an approved Continuing Education Provider (CEP), I hold accreditation from both the California Board of Registered Nursing and the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT).

Acknowledging the profound influence that addressing sexual health concerns can have on people’s lives, I am deeply passionate about educating healthcare providers on matters of sexual health, emphasizing its significance in enhancing the overall quality of life.
