How I partner with the ecosystem
I work with founders directly and in partnership with accelerators and investment funds.
Founders
Individual sessions to surface risks early, build resilience, and navigate high-stakes decisions with clarity.
Funds & Accelerators
Portfolio and cohort pulse checks, advisory on program adjustments, discrete and fast on-demand support.
Workshops & Talks
Group sessions for investors and founders on mental health (e.g. the biology of stress, common challenges, practical techniques).
Clear outcomes, practical structure
I combine techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and performance coaching with operator context. You leave each session with a plan you can execute this week.

What founders say
Anonymous by default. Specific references provided upon request.
"In the three months before our Series A, these sessions turned chaos into a plan. I sleep again, my board notices the difference."
"Practical frameworks, zero fluff. I ship more and worry less."
"We resolved a co‑founder standoff in two sessions and avoided a split that would have killed the company."
About me
I'm a German-American clinical psychologist. I originally worked in the clinical field focusing on criminology by working with inmates in maximum-security prisons, both in the US and in Germany.
After moving to Berlin I switched to the business sphere, by joining an AgTech Startup as the first employee. We scaled the company to 60+ employees and I ultimately took on the role of VP of Operations.
I now combine my expertise in mental health and the startup ecosystem to support with challenges along the entrepreneurial path by consulting founders, funds, and the German Ministry of Economic Affairs on working with founders.
