Individualized, Psychologist-Led College Placement & Transition Support for Neurodivergent Students

Getting into college is only the beginning— succeeding there is what truly matters.

  • Founded by an educational psychologist, NeuroAligned College Advising integrates developmental science, disability systems expertise, and deep knowledge of higher education to guide students toward colleges where they can succeed, not struggle.

    I specialize in supporting students with ADHD and autism spectrum disorder who are ready to choose colleges matched to their strengths, needs, and goals and move into adulthood with confidence.

  • Individualized support based on your student’s learning profile, strengths, and challenges.

    I provide guidance with college selection, transition planning, study strategies, time management, task initiation and follow-through, self-advocacy and communication, stress management, and building confidence through a holistic approach that will help your student thrive.

  • Parenting a neurodivergent teen means thinking beyond grades and test scores. You’re thinking about independence, emotional readiness, organization, self-advocacy, and daily life skills.

    Traditional college counseling focuses on applications, deadlines, and transcripts. While important, these steps alone don’t prepare neurodivergent students for the realities of college life. I specialize in long-term success, not quick admission wins or prestige chasing. Proper planning, with the whole student in mind, reduces the risk of college failure, burnout, emotional distress, and costly false starts.

  • Neurodivergent students don’t need to be “fixed.” They need to be understood and supported in the right environment.

    The right fit doesn’t just change performance— it changes identity, confidence, and destiny. I help you and your child identify colleges that will feel like home and equip students with the skills needed to thrive there.

    A college is more than a place to earn a degree. It is a launchpad for adulthood; they are not simply going to school— they are growing into themselves.

Because environment shapes outcomes.

A simple truth: The same seed, planted in different conditions, might turn into a fragile plant, wilt, or grow slowly and unevenly. But, planted in properly balanced soil with the right amount of moisture and sunlight, that same seed will change. Its roots will stretch and its stem will strengthen.

When the outcome is poor, we don’t ask, “What’s wrong with this seed?” we ask, “Where will it grow best?”

When needs are met, growth accelerates and potential can finally unfold.
