Feel like you’ll never get your home organized?

Where you see chaos, I see possibility.

You’ve tried getting your home and life in order, but it never seems to stick. Sometimes, it feels like organizing your home is a hopeless cause — but I’m here to tell you, it’s not!

With over eight years of professional organizing experience (and before that, clinical social work), I’ve worked with so many incredibly bright, creative people who felt like they failed because they didn’t fit the traditional mold for order and productivity.

Through guidance and support, I love helping you uncover clever ways your mind works so we can work with your strengths and skills rather than against them.

Ready for a compassionate collaborator?

Hi, I’m Catherine - so glad you’re here!

Fun Facts

I love creativity! I paint, sing, and I’m currently teaching myself to play the piano.

I live in Naperville with my husband and son. We love to spend time outdoors but treasure low-key family weekends filled with reading and creative projects.

Guilty purchase? I own more books than any one person needs to! Don’t tell Marie Kondo.

I have a personal connection to setting up a home with unique needs. My husband is legally blind, so I know what it’s like to require outside-the-box approaches to organization.

I’ve been known to quote movies out of thin air or start singing along to music during a session without realizing it. But I’m very understanding if you need quiet instead!

Homewell Values

  • Care.

    Inviting a stranger into your home can be a little nerve-wrecking. My approach is heart-centered, holistic, and gentle, and I do my best to make it as comfortable as possible. I’m never there to judge your home, but instead, I’ll take the time to get to know and understand you so we can make changes that work.

  • Collaboration.

    You’re the real expert when it comes to your life and home. Coupled with my expertise and know-how, we’ll create an organizing framework that empowers, honors, and embraces your individual qualities. We’ll celebrate your progress as we go because inspiration comes from the process, not just the vision of your final product.

  • Creativity.

    Your strength lies in creativity and outside-the-box thinking — meaning you need a different approach to home organizing. I love helping uncover the right solutions for YOU. With my positive, proactive support, we’ll design order and flow in your home that doesn’t stifle your creativity but allows it to flourish instead.

  • Commitment.

    Behind the scenes, I’m a life-long learner and love continuing my education. In person, I’m all about rolling up my sleeves and diving in with you. Sessions are about 80% hands-on work and 20% coaching, so you can learn skills and feel empowered to make long-lasting changes that really stick.

If any of these sound like you, you’re ready to get organized with Homewell!

  • You’re creative and appreciate beauty, but you’re pretty sure your organizing style won’t look like Pinterest or Instagram.

  • You’ve tried working with other organizers, but they didn’t really understand you or what you need.

  • You’d love to learn how to keep your home organized after I leave.

  • You’re ready for a functional space that doesn’t add to the stress of day-to-day life but serves as your sanctuary instead.
