Hi, my name is Meike (My-cah). I am an EMDR-trained therapist specializing in trauma healing. I support my clients in moving from surviving to thriving. I am originally from Germany, with Romanian roots, and married into an Indian family. These experiences have shaped the multicultural lens through which I approach my work. I enjoy exploring the unique world views my clients bring to the sessions. If you are struggling with life transitions, stress, anxiety, or lingering effects of past trauma, relationships, or are being held back by fear, I am here to help you feel more grounded, connected, and more like yourself again.
I believe healing is possible and no one should face life’s challenges alone. I offer trauma-informed therapy for those navigating life transitions, trauma, or cross-cultural struggles. I start by listening deeply, use EMDR, Emotion-Focused, Solution-Focused, Somatic and Polyvagal Therapy to support change by offer a space for growth and healing.
Supporting you through life’s challenges is my mission. I guide you to process past trauma, find balance, build self-trust, and gain clarity. You don’t have to do this alone and you deserve to feel heard, seen, and supported. Book online today for a free consultation and we’ll take the first step together with curiosity, compassion, and care.
