“I can’t go on like this anymore.”
You’ve said it to yourself. Quietly. Repeatedly.
You Know Something Needs to Change — You Just Don’t Know How

You’ve tried staying busy. You’ve tried staying strong. But behind the smiles, the anxiety keeps buzzing, that feeling of heaviness lingers, and your relationships feel harder than they should.
At Reclaim Happy, we help you offload the emotional weight you’ve been dragging around — the anxiety, the guilt, the cloud of gloom that keeps looping through your thoughts. We guide you back to the path of grounded, happy living. 
Our clients don’t need more advice. They need tools that work. That’s why we combine CBT-informed strategic interventions, certified life coaching, and restorative practices like meditation to help you feel better, build self-worth, and actually move forward.
Whether you’re overwhelmed by life, stuck in depression, navigating a career transition, or unsure how to fix your relationships, we meet you exactly where you are. With Reclaim Happy, you don’t just talk. You rebuild a better you, take control of your life, reset your mindset, and finally start feeling like yourself again.

I can help you with
  • Lack of happiness/depression/grief: Improving mood, overcoming depression, getting past losing someone that has passed. Even if we feel life is somewhat okay, struggling with feeling internal happiness consistently on a daily basis.
  • Negative thought patterns/anxiety: Pessimistic thinking, focused more on the past or the future. Inability to still the mind, always on to the next thing, trouble turning the off switch.
  • Work/life balance & purpose: Imbalance causing strain. Questioning what is our purpose, should we be doing something else at this point in life? Lack of confidence, tend to self sabotage. Financial insecurity.
  • Relationships/Divorce: Trouble dealing with certain other people, absorbing negative energy, leading us to feeling drained. Difficulty with guilt, setting boundaries, and saying no.

Our Process

Two common problems with a lot of self-help literature are it pushes individuals to just fight their problems head-on and it just strengthens the ego. We create our reality through our own perception, thus most of the battle is overcoming our own mind vs. just the external environment.

Reshape

The first step is to reshape the size of the problem into something that is more manageable to overcome which reduces the stress and anxiety around both facing the issue and taking the first step to overcome it.

Quote
Many individuals do not even start because of a perceived insurmountable fear or do not revisit their struggles because of setbacks in the past.

Reframe

Then we will reframe the obstacle along with any negative connotations and victimization into opportunities with positive attributes and accountability.

Reclaim Happy

I get asked this a lot

If you still have some questions, have a look at my FAQ

How often do we meet and how long is the program?

Down

Most clients meet with their certified life coach weekly for up to one hour but we’re flexible. If your schedule or budget needs something different, we can explore every other week or adjust as needed. There’s no fixed length. Once your personal goals are met and your progress holds, we can taper sessions gradually or wrap up. Some clients feel better after one session but regardless, stay longer to rebuild self-worth, relationship clarity, or emotional stability. 

What does Reclaim Happy’s life coaching cost and what’s included?

Down

We offer a free, no-pressure, no-hard-sell introductory consultation with coaching included. After that, sessions are $75/hour. We're committed to making coaching accessible. If $75 feels out of reach but you're ready for change, let’s talk—whether it’s adjusting the pace or finding a rate that works. Coaching is often HSA reimbursable, and a portion of the proceeds supports underprivileged children. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all fix. It’s a meaningful investment in your emotional healing and long-term growth.

How do sessions work, and how do we meet?

Down

Sessions are held online via phone, Google Meet, Facetime, or in person. Each session blends cognitive behavioral therapy, practical tools, and personalized coaching, depending on your needs. You'll leave each session with real tools and clarity, not just conversation.

What’s the difference between a life coach and a therapist?

Down

A therapist helps with clinical diagnosis and deep emotional processing. A certified personal coach supports progress with tools, accountability, and forward action. Our approach combines CBT therapy, self-improvement coaching, and emotional healing to help you feel better now and build a better future.

Can I work with a life coach if I already have a therapist?

Down

Yes. We often support clients who’ve completed or are currently in therapy. While traditional talk therapy explores the WHY and the past, our coaching and CBT focus more on present action and future change. Our clients often say that working with a personal development coach helped them achieve their results further.

Can life coaching really help with anxiety and depression?

Down

Yes. We use CBT for anxiety, CBT for depression, and goal-based coaching to help clients manage symptoms and feel more in control. Clients often experience relief after their first session and gain tools they can use between sessions for self-therapy.

What kind of coaching do you offer for relationships?

Down

We offer relationship coaching for individuals navigating romantic issues, family strain, or communication breakdowns. Whether you need relationship advice, boundary support, or simply an impartial ear, our coaching gives you clarity and practical next steps.
