“We, the therapists, need to be the keeper of HOPE – until our clients can feel hope within themselves.”

A vocal advocate of the need to recognize the undeniable role that unresolved complex trauma plays in one’s disordered relationship with food, Dr. Julie’s  FULL Recovery Model of Eating Disorder Treatment which includes her Strategic ~ Attachment Repair Therapy (S~ART)™  is changing how professionals conceptualize and treat issues affecting one’s relationship with food, body, emotions and Self.

Especially, food-related issues DRIVEN by unresolved complex trauma.

“Current cognitive behavioral models of eating disorder treatment are rendered ineffective in the presence of unresolved complex trauma. Until clinicians sensitively assess, repair and recreate healthy attachment templates that allow a full connection to your body, emotions and Self , CBT solutions will be a mere temporary solution.

People deserve better. People deserve healing.”  Dr. Julie
