Expertise & HOPE: Psychological Services

The field of eating disorders has been stagnant for over 40 years. Offering only narrowly focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapeutic approaches that research consistently indicates are merely 50% effective.

Recovery rates for all eating disorders NEED to be higher. CAN be higher. Should be higher. We NEED to widen our conceptual lens to include awareness and treatment of the well-researched impact that UNRESOLVED complex trauma plays in chronic and disordered eating. Only then will the clients we are asked to serve, be able to attain full and lasting change.

It is with this conviction, that Dr. Julie offers innovative treatment models that include a complex trauma-informed approach to FULL recovery.

Issues of attachment, dissociation and disconnection from one’s body, a history of early dieting and unresolved complex trauma are all factors which DRIVE the ultimate manifestation of disordered eating.  Yet, are not readily considered in current models of eating disorder treatment.

“The treatment of eating disorders is complex.  Yet, FULL resolution of all eating disorders IS possible.”

It is with this conviction that Dr. Julie offers consultation, education, and support to healthcare professionals across the globe. Professionals who are seeking to broaden their clinical understanding and deepen their level of therapeutic skill, when working to effectively treat those with disordered eating including: anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, emotional eating, and chronic struggles with weight.

Dr. Julie is frequently found proclaiming that… “By widening our conceptual lens to include the awareness, assessment and incorporation of a complex trauma-informed treatment model which considers the aftereffects of early emotional neglect, domestic violence, attachment betrayal & abandonment, and physical, emotional and/or sexual trauma, clinicians are able to FULLY resolve all that creates disordered eating.” 

It is with this heart-driven conviction that Dr. Julie offers a multitude of PERSONALIZED learning formats to help educate and support healthcare professionals throughout the world in her innovative treatment model and approach.

Dr. Julies heart continues to be centered in her role as a clinical psychologist, helping to lift people out of emotional, behavioral or relational stagnation, and into the life they so desperately desire ~ and deserve to be living.

This includes helping people to HEAL fully from issues of disordered eating (anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, emotional eating), chronic struggles with weight, chronic dissatisfaction with body, relationship issues, marital struggles, and/or unresolved complex trauma.

What IS complex trauma? 

Early beginnings that may have included emotional neglect; emotional, physical or sexual abuse; under-parenting; living with a narcissistic parent or within a narcissistic family system; growing up in a domestic violence or an alcoholic family; having teen parents; having a parent who was depressed, physical ill or unable to care for you properly; abandonment or death of a parent: and/or mis-attuned parenting which left you feeling judged, invalidated, unsupported, or unworthy.

All of which affects your relationship with your body, your emotions, and with your Self, in the here and now.

If this sounds like you, and you would like to FINALLY fully resolve the underlying issues which are obstructing your ability to embrace the behavioral changes you so desperately want to make, please reach out.  I would welcome the opportunity to work together, in support of your complete and sustainable emotional, relational and behavioral healing.
