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.

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