Wellness, and relationships play a vital role in our everyday lives so let's work together to achieve your individual goals and relationship satisfaction. My dedication and passion for guiding clients and supervisees is unmatched as I not only help you survive, but thrive. My treatment and supervision specializations include trauma, anxiety, sex and intimacy, sexual dysfunctions, sexuality exploration, gender diversity, and relationships. My experience in counselor education, counseling supervision, and research supports counselors-in-training seeking personal growth, multicultural competency, and professional development.

My unique therapeutic approach is integrative, educational, and challenging, and tailored to meet your needs and support you in achieving the life you desire and deserve. I work to validate your emotions, target negative cognitions, highlight behavioral reactions and promote change through discovering inner strengths and developing greater self-awareness.

Working collaboratively we will reduce problems from past patterns and gain insight into deeper levels of yourself to enhance your future. My unparalleled background in counseling, education, supervision, and research will help you through techniques that are emotionally guiding, culturally sensitive, strengths based, motivational, and solution focused.

People navigating identity, relationship patterns, or feeling stuck, disconnected, or emotionally overwhelmed.

Death Dialogues: Living with Morality

Hosted by

Dr. Christine Romano

Adults navigating grief, loss, or existential anxiety about death who want a structured, honest space to face it alongside others -- without pressure to move on, stay positive, or pretend things feel okay. Most spaces can't hold honest conversation about death without someone trying to redirect, fix, or comfort. Death Dialogues fills that gap -- a compassionate, structured group where adults of all spiritual backgrounds can face mortality, grief, and existential uncertainty together. Each 60-minute session includes structured reflection, open dialogue, and gentle ritual. Sessions follow a weekly theme and are designed to help members feel grounded and connected.
