I am on a mission to help individuals release the hold that disorganization and clutter have over their lives. Whether it be downsizing, making time to enjoy retirement, or learning how to wrestle control from the chaos, I work with clients who are committed to regaining control over their clutter, and want to find time to focus on what truly matters.
Why organizing?
I had always wanted one of those “light bulb” moments that many speak of when they refer to their career passion. The opportunity presented itself when I gently nudged someone close to me to organize his home after he had gone through a big life transition and had also inherited someone else’s possessions. After many hours of sorting through items, purging, and organizing what remained, he was naturally exhausted but I was inexplicably energized, excited, and chomping at the bit to do more. He casually mentioned that I had missed my calling and I could almost see the light bulb turn on above my head. I then discovered that lo and behold, I could enjoy a career using these skills and natural ability to help others who were feeling stuck. After discovering my passion (and helping him transform his entire home), I came to realize that not only had organizing been the most enjoyable part of each of my previous jobs, but also that I had been organizing since I was a young child. Long forgotten memories flooded back such as begging a childhood friend to organize her desk and organizing my own closet to create a tiny reading corner where I could get lost in a good book. It was not until my “light bulb” moment that I realized I had been honing in on my organizing skills since I was very young.
Formal training?
I have accrued more than 80 hours of education through NAPO (the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals), ICD (the Institute for Challenging Disorganization), and other organizations and annual hoarding conferences. This has broadened my knowledge of particular challenges and obstacles that individuals face, especially those who have grappled with chronic disorganization and hoarding disorder. Additionally, I have worked with other NAPO organizers, which means that I can apply various techniques to the benefit of my clients. I earned a Residential Organizing Specialist certificate through NAPO and am currently serving as a member of the San Francisco Mental Health Association's Hoarding Task Force.
Abiding by NAPO’s Code of Ethics means that clients know I have their best interest in mind as we work together. Through continued training, self study, and on-site work, I ensure that clients reach their organizing goals.
Before organizing?
Previous careers in office management, volunteer management, and administration demonstrated my penchant for wrangling files into submission, creating electronic filing systems, curating marketing collections, maintaining effective storage rooms, and tackling a host of other organizing conundrums.
It has been an honor to work with committed individuals who have been ready to work with me in order to reach their organizing goals and change their lives. Nothing lights me up inside like hearing jubilant clients exclaim that they are ecstatic to not only reach their goals with my guidance, but to discover that letting go and getting organized has opened up entirely new avenues in their lives.
