who i am

I am a Life Coach and Professional Organizer who works with people in their homes and businesses to simplify and create lives more fully aligned with their values.

I offer a unique combination of the analytical and the intuitive and I work gently and compassionately with all — including families, entrepreneurs, artists, small businesses, and adults with ADD.

I love helping people bring their gifts to the world. I have a gift for helping people find clarity, believe in themselves, navigate around barriers, and move forward. It's transformational and I love that!

my approach

I believe in creating the simplest system possible. Instead of me coming in and telling you what systems to use, we will work together to figure out how your brain works and find the simplest system that you will be willing and able to use — and maintain.

I bring a compassionate and gentle presence. You can feel safe in letting me in to your tender places and know that you will not be judged or criticized. I know how hard this can all be.

Nobody ever said that you were supposed to do it all on your own! But we sure do imagine that we should be able to. Figuring out just where you get stuck and getting help there – wow. How easy are you willing to let things be?

I am the oldest of six children in a blended family and amidst all the chaos, I became the go-to gal to get things done.

I am a big fan of common sense.

I don’t believe any of us is intrinsically organized or disorganized. I find that people are all just organized in different realms and places in their lives.

One way I have a positive impact in the world is by helping others bring their gifts to the world.
