― About me
A clinical psychologist with about 20 years of experience, specializing in mental-health, giftedness, ADHD, and twice-exceptional (2E) individuals.
I also work as a life coach and mentor. I primarily help gifted children, teenagers, young adult, and adult especially those with ADHD, using a scientific yet accessible approach.
As a father, my journey extends beyond the clinic. My personal experiences have deepened my understanding of the unique challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals and their families. This inspires me to write a book that blends my professional expertise with a father’s perspective—offering not just clinical insights but heartfelt guidance. I also aim to create practical resources, like ADHD and 2E screening tools and cold therapy guides, crafted with care to truly support those who need them.

I offer online & offline counseling, often collaborating with parents and schools to gain deeper behavioral insights. While my audience is primarily Indonesian-speaking, I also able to conduct sessions in English for clarity and comfort.
Details of my specialties
Giftedness & Twice-Exceptional (2E) Support
I specialize in working with gifted children, teenagers, and young adults, particularly those identified as twice-exceptional (2E) with ADHD. My approach focuses on helping them embrace their unique cognitive strengths while effectively managing emotional and behavioral challenges.
ADHD presents differently in gifted minds. I use a scientific yet accessible approach to help gifted individuals—and their families—understand ADHD’s impact on learning, focus, and emotional regulation, fostering self-awareness and growth.
ADHD in Gifted & High-Ability Individuals
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) & Mindfulness Integration
Through a personalized blend of CBT and mindfulness techniques, I guide individuals in managing overexcitability, improving impulse control, and fostering emotional balance. These strategies are adapted to align with each person’s unique needs and developmental stage.
Parental Guidance & Coaching for Neurodivergent Children
Parents play a vital role in a child’s growth. I collaborate with families, offering hands-on coaching, data-driven behavioral observations, and strategies to better support their child’s cognitive, emotional, and social development.
Life Coaching & Mentorship for Gifted & ADHD Individuals
Navigating life with neurodivergent traits can be complex. I offer life coaching and mentorship, helping children, teens, and adults set meaningful goals, overcome challenges, and thrive both personally and professionally.
Specialized ADHD, Giftedness & 2E Assessment & Screening
I am developing a comprehensive assessment toolkit—including ADHD, giftedness, and 2E screening checklists, structured intake forms, and clinical workflows—to help parents, educators, and clinicians accurately identify neurodivergent profiles.
Cold Therapy for ADHD & Neurodivergent Individuals
Cold therapy can be a transformative tool for managing ADHD, sensory processing challenges, anxiety, and emotional overexcitability. I am creating structured, age-specific guides to help neurodivergent individuals and their families integrate cold therapy safely and effectively.
