Thank You!!!

Well, that gives an indication. Could be a Japanese ceder / Cryptomeria Japonica.

Based on the photo it's impossible to tell though, you'd need to post a better one.

Hi, could it be a Chamaecyparis Obtusa Sekka? It is also known as Hinoki Cypress...
I've got a very young one and from your pics (though hard to tell for sure) the leaves seems quite similar.
I attach a couple of pics of mine.

If you have a tag, receipt, bill of sale, etc. I'd be happy to tell you what it was sold to you as.

Not sure what it is. But from the picture I get a bad feeling that it might be struggling. How are you taking care of it?
