Transform your space and yourself

with personalized professional organizing

Overwhelmed? I’m here for you.

When you walk into your house, do you feel stressed out by clutter, unfinished projects, and the feeling of too many things to do?

Do you feel frustrated that you can’t find the things you need, or that your family members never put things away?

Would you love to get your home in order, but you can’t find the time, energy, or inspiration to get started?

If this sounds like you, you’ve come to the right place.

Let’s make your home work for you

Hi, I’m Emily (and this is my dog Kyra), and I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m a professional organizer based in Pittsburgh, PA. I’ve learned that organization goes beyond making your home look great — it provides peace of mind and connects you with your deeper values.

Your home should support your unique needs and preferences. My business, So Simple Organization, gives you the personalized support you need to get organized and maintain your home. Whether you want to work side-by-side to address clutter or need my team to tackle your project quickly, I can help you transform your home.

How I can help

  • Get a personalized organizing plan

    I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to organization. That’s why I listen to your needs and goals and start by designing a plan that will work for you.

  • Get the work done

    I show up with everything needed to complete your project and will tackle each step with you or my team.

  • Find accountability and support

    Do you want to take on some tasks by yourself, or learn how to be organized? I will give you the guidance, tools, and accountability you need to get there.

  • Maintain your space

    It’s not just about getting your home organized, it’s about living in it. I’ll share insights and resources to keep you organized for the long run.

What my clients say

  • I approached Emily after scouring reviews, looking for someone who could work with my ADHD brain on several spots in our home. I was pleased that she didn't apply a specific process, but rather a custom solution that prioritized what was important to me.

    Meghan C., Mt. Lebanon

  • I have issues with executive dysfunction and Emily broke everything down in easy-to-do chunks. In one day she helped me get done what I have been trying to do for months.

    Carly B., Hazelwood

  • I had a full storage unit, my dad passed away in April 2023 and I was just not functioning enough to start emptying my storage unit. Emily came in and gently guided me in the right direction.

    Faye W., Brookline

  • Emily was wonderful to work with on my office organization. She helped me think through my paperwork needs, created a system for me in my filing cabinets and sent me links and options for ways to get rid of unneeded junk in my office space.

    Tiffany P., Brookline

  • Emily and I decluttered my bedroom and two closets -- a task I was overwhelmed by and thus put off for months. With Emily's guidance we filled more than five garbage bags with things to get rid of, donate, and throw away or recycle. She also helped me organize the items I kept.

    Rachel M., Mt. Washington

  • I want to start by saying I suffer from depression and have always. When I met Emily, she was so understanding and passed no judgment on me or the state of my unorganized life. She was patient and helpful, and had so many great ideas on how to organize things.

    Rachel O., Belle Vernon

Curious about organizing for ADHD?

Organization is never one-size-fits-all, and people with ADHD need a different approach. I was recently featured on the ADHD Crash Course podcast with Donae Cannon to talk about organizing strategies that work for people with ADHD.
