The thing we value most is to keep learning and improving our counseling skills. We are not the “teacher” who teach you what to do. We will work together with you to identify and learn your negative patterns, then we will support you to find more effective ways to deal with the issues. It will not only have solved the issues that you brought in, but also you will have skills so you can better cope with any challenges arise in the future.
I hope meeting sky counselors could be your first step to make positive change in your life.

In the midst of tragedy and uncertainty, I can't help feeling optimistic about the future. This is because I have the privilege of working with people who are eager to grow and to change. It may not be an exaggeration to say that counseling is one of the most adventurous and meaningful journeys one can embark on in life. It would be an honor to accompany you for a while along your way.

All relationships are unique, with their own complex challenges. Especially, when there are cultural differences involved, it is not uncommon for couples to feel overwhelming. As priorities change, such as children, family,personal interests, career and work, a relationship may experience ups and downs in communication, understanding, physical intimacy or affection etc.The sooner a couple address these challenges, the easier it can be to improve communication and the deal with the stress and conflict. I work with couples to work through their issues to achieve long, healthy and rewarding relationships. My methodology is based on Dr. John Gottman Couple Counseling who has been researching couples for 40 years.
The support services are available in both Japanese and English in the areas of pre-marriage counseling to couples who are considering getting married, and couples-counseling for any couples who are experiencing challenges.
