About the Trainer
Born and raised in Pearl City, Hawaiʻi, Cindy is a local island girl at heart, of multiethnic backgrounds who strongly identifies with her Hawaiian and Japanese ancestries. She started her professional life as a civil litigation attorney, then spent the bulk of her legal career as a trial attorney with the Office of the Public Defender. Moved to help people beyond their legal challenges, Cindy became a Clinical Psychologist who enjoys working with couples, families and individuals of diverse backgrounds, identities and varied life experiences to overcome life challenges through strengthening of their relationships. After all, life is less scary and most meaningful when we have close others to share it with.
Cindy utilizes a multimodal teaching approach that incorporates didactics, videos, skills demonstrations, experiential exercises and EFT in action with a real couple. Cindy’s goal is for every participant is to gain a rich, experiential, felt sense of the key EFT concepts, and interventions, as well as client and self-of-therapist experiences that not only consolidates new learning, but results in the execution of new skills within an attachment lens and EFT presence.
