About Toppacio
With five years of clinical experience in California, she works from a systemic perspective. That means she looks at the different parts of a person’s life - relationships, family roles, and daily stressors - and how they affect wellbeing. Sessions focus on practical changes people can try between meetings, alongside talking through feelings and patterns.
Her background includes work with children, teens, adults, and couples, and experience supporting survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. She has experience with autism spectrum concerns and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder among children, and she helps parents and caregivers navigate related stress.
Toppacio uses techniques drawn from several therapeutic approaches and is certified in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Managing and Adapting Practice. She aims to tailor methods to what each person needs rather than applying a single formula.
Conversations with her often include exploring attachment and abandonment worries, addressing grief and emptiness, and managing addictive behaviors or compassion fatigue. She encourages small, steady steps toward clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and improved daily coping.
