Current, empirically validated, gold-standard instruments. Carefully selected. Thoughtfully interpreted.
Evaluations That Reflect the Whole Person
A thorough psychological evaluation is more than a battery of tests. It is a clinical investigation, shaped by informed hypothesis, refined judgment, and a willingness to sit with complexity until a clearer picture emerges. Jessica\'s evaluations are distinguished by intentional instrument selection, unhurried testing sessions, and the careful interpretation that years of integrated clinical practice make possible.
Her work draws on training in clinical psychology, years of school-based clinical practice, and significant foundation in community mental health. This integration allows her to hold the evaluation not only in its diagnostic dimension, but in its educational, familial, relational, and developmental dimensions as well. The result is a report that speaks to the classroom team, the physician, the therapist, the family, and most importantly, to the individual themselves.
With more than 500 complex evaluations completed, Jessica\'s caseload remains deliberately intimate. Clients are not funneled through a high-volume system. They are seen with depth, with care, and with the focused attention that surfaces what routine testing so often overlooks.
ADHD Evaluation Across the Lifespan
Jessica provides comprehensive ADHD evaluation for tweens, teens, and adults, with specific attention to the late-identified and high-masking presentations so often missed in traditional settings. Each assessment draws on a careful integration of clinical interview, developmental history, rating scales, performance-based measures, and collateral information from parents, teachers, or partners.
ADHD rarely exists in isolation. Jessica\'s evaluations account for the common co-occurring presentations — anxiety, learning differences, autism spectrum traits, executive functioning challenges, and the academic and emotional sequelae that unaddressed ADHD so often produces.
Autism Spectrum Evaluation
Comprehensive autism spectrum evaluation for tweens, teens, and adults, with specialty expertise in high-masking presentations, late identification, and the profiles routinely missed in settings trained primarily on young externalizing boys. Jessica draws on gold-standard diagnostic instruments alongside developmental history, sensory and social profiling, and extensive clinical interview.
Her approach is neurodiversity-affirming. Reports identify autism not as pathology but as a neurodevelopmental variation with meaningful strengths and meaningful support needs. Recommendations are framed around accommodation, self-understanding, and the specific scaffolding that allows autistic individuals to thrive in their actual lives.
Twice-Exceptional (2e) & Giftedness Evaluation
Twice-exceptional individuals possess both advanced cognitive abilities and co-occurring challenges such as ADHD, autism, learning differences, anxiety, or executive functioning difficulty. This profile produces a clinical picture in which remarkable strengths and significant struggles coexist, often obscuring one another.
Jessica provides comprehensive 2e evaluation designed to capture both sides of the profile at once. Her assessments identify cognitive strengths, underlying challenges, and the dynamic interplay between them, translating those insights into recommendations that support GATE placement, private school admissions, IEP and 504 planning, therapeutic intervention, and family understanding.
Learning Differences & Dyslexia Evaluation
A thorough learning disability evaluation requires more than a single cognitive test and a quick diagnostic impression. Jessica\'s learning differences assessments are built on a multidimensional battery of current, empirically validated, and gold-standard instruments, each selected to capture a specific dimension of how a client processes information, reads, writes, and learns.
Through this careful and layered approach, Jessica aims to identify not only the presence of a learning difference but the full architecture of how a client thinks and learns. Her evaluations illuminate dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, language-based learning differences, auditory processing concerns, and the subtle profiles that single-battery assessments routinely miss.
Social-Emotional and Mental Health Assessment
Focused evaluation of anxiety, depression, trauma history, emotion regulation, and interpersonal functioning, for clients whose mental health picture is complex or overlaps with neurodivergence. These assessments produce valuable insights into the emotional and relational patterns shaping a client\'s life, and translate those insights into clear, actionable recommendations for therapy, family support, and educational planning.
Workplace & 504 Accommodation Assessments
Jessica provides formal accommodation assessments for adolescents, college students, and adults throughout the South Bay and across California. Each evaluation produces the precise clinical documentation required to secure reasonable adjustments under the ADA and Section 504, addressing focus, reading and written expression, sensory environment, flexible scheduling, extended time, and executive functioning. Reports are written with professional, academic, and educational contexts in mind, and are designed to be used by employers, HR departments, university disability services offices, graduate and professional licensing bodies, and K-12 school teams.
