About me
I know firsthand how overwhelming life can feel when you’re carrying too much. In 2008, I walked away from a high-paying corporate job that didn’t align with my values, which cut my income in half and forced me to downsize from a two-bedroom apartment to a studio. That decision also guided me to therapy, where I began the deep work of redefining who I was and what I wanted from life.
Since then, I’ve navigated career changes, ended toxic relationships, and faced profound loss—my father to cancer in 2014, and my mother to Alzheimer’s in 2020. Through it all, the practices of therapy and simplicity gave me what I needed most: clarity, resilience, and peace in the midst of uncertainty. It was during a therapy session that the idea for Simplify & Organize first took root.
Those same practices are what I bring to my work with clients today. I’ve seen people move from tearful and stuck to peaceful and proud, sometimes in just one session. And I know that when a home gets lighter, everything else follows—your mind, your mood, your mornings, even your hope. This isn’t just about decluttering. It’s about transformation from the inside out.
If you’re craving ease and clarity, know that it’s possible—and you don’t have to get there alone. Simplify & Organize exists to help you create a life with meaning, not just bills and chores. You deserve spaces that support you, not weigh you down.
Beyond the Work
I am based in Des Moines, Iowa, and work with clients both locally and virtually. When I am not organizing or coaching, you will probably find me hiking, thrifting, watching movies at Varsity Cinema, creating strange art, or working on a costume.
