How is your life in the U.S. going? Are you enjoying life? If you are not having the American life you envisioned, we are very sorry.

I have tried many things to relieve my stress, such as playing sports, reading books, and complaining to my family and friends, but I just don't feel better. The situation is not getting any better. I'm frustrated because I can't exert myself. If you are wondering what to do, why don't you try my psychological counseling?

You may be thinking, "Is it really necessary to talk about such a trivial matter?" or "I don't want to worry my friends and family, and I feel embarrassed to talk about it.

We can help you live more happily as you are, as a psychological ・ relationship expert.

Many of the people who come to me for counseling say things like, "At first I thought counseling was only for people with severe symptoms," "I was limited in what I could think of on my own," "I wish more people would seek counseling because it worked for me," and "I have noticed a lot in counseling. I want many people to receive counseling because it was effective for me", "I realized many things in counseling and I feel like scales fell out of my eyes. I feel happier now." "I wish I had sought counseling earlier.

These people also needed a little courage when they contacted me.

If you have a firm feeling that you want to change your situation, please have a little courage and call me. We will be happy to explain the process to you.

Examples of your consultation ：

I am stressed by my relationships and sometimes worry and feel depressed.

Not getting as good results as expected in studies, work, or certification exams. Feeling nervous and unable to perform at your best. I feel that I should be doing better.

Life in America ・ I don't fit in with the culture. I am not confident in my English. I cannot communicate with Americans on an equal level. I want to go back to Japan if I have to live like this.

I want to get married and start a family, but I can't find a good partner. I feel lonely to live alone for the rest of my life. Everything else is going relatively well.

I am not sure how to raise my child, and I am a little worried about whether my daughter/son will be good enough. But I think I can manage.

I am tired of working and raising my child. I can't help it because it seems like everyone else is the same. I work hard, but it doesn't pay off, and I feel exhausted.

There is distance in my relationship with my husband/wife. I want to talk more and understand. But when I talk, we end up fighting. How can we get along?

I had a traumatic experience in the past that I still can't forget. I was dissatisfied with the environment in which I was brought up.


If you are concerned about any of the above, please contact us.

People repeat the same behavioral patterns ・ themes in their lives without realizing it.

I will listen to your story carefully and help you become aware of various beliefs and behavior patterns that you may have without realizing it.

Japanese people are taught to be patient because you are an elder brother ・ and an elder sister, to obey because you are a woman, to be strong because you are a man, to respect harmony, to not be selfish, to work hard without complaining, and so on. We are influenced by these unique "beliefs" that come from the Japanese culture. These beliefs have actually influenced our minds and restricted our actions without our knowing it. When you live in the U.S., these "habits" ・ of behavior and past experiences will hinder you from realizing your dreams.

If you can correct your "habits" and become better able to balance your feelings and actions, you will be one step closer to your ideal. Have you given up on your personality, thinking that it will never change? However, it is possible to correct your "habits" little by little with your effort and appropriate support. One example of this is that many athletes and businessmen are nowadays focusing on the mental component and correcting their "habits" to improve their performance. In fact, I myself was able to eliminate many of my old "habits" thanks to this approach, and as a result, many things I had hoped for were realized. I am living a much more satisfying and happy life than before. I have the realization that I can create my own life.

I believe that unlimited potential and wisdom is already present in each one of us. In my sessions, I am not trying to fix what is wrong with you, but to help you learn how to better access your inner wisdom and live your life as yourself. So it is a joint effort between you and me. In order for this to happen, you must first be willing to change your current situation. If you are interested in this unique approach, please contact me to discuss the counseling process with you free of charge.

Then you are free to decide if you would like to try my approach, so please feel free to contact me.

It is often more effective to contact me before the problem becomes more complicated. Please contact us now.
