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 formal training?
I firmly believe that being "naturally good at organizing" and learning on the job, while vital, are not enough to adequately help those who are struggling with clutter. This is especially true when working with individuals who struggle with chronic disorganization and hoarding disorder.
Commitment to continuing education ensures that my clients get real results that stick around long after we have reached their immediate goals. I have accrued more than 168 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.
Additionally, I have earned:
I have read over 30 books relating to organization, clutter, and habit formation. Continued education means that I am always improving my craft to better help my clients.
My extensive knowledge of challenges and obstacles (especially chronic disorganization and hoarding disorder) help clients climb out of the piles of clutter. Additionally, I have worked with other NAPO organizers to broaden the various techniques to the benefit of my clients. I also served on 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.
Why organizing?
I had always wanted one of those “light bulb” moments. The opportunity presented itself after helping someone organize their home. I realized that not only had organizing been the most enjoyable part of each of my previous careers, but also that I had been organizing since I was a young child. Long forgotten memories returned of begging a childhood friend to let me organize her desk and of 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 my organizing skills since I was very young.
Before organizing?
Previous careers in office management, volunteer management, and administration demonstrated my penchant for wrangling files into submission, creating processes to allow more effective work flows, creating electronic filing systems, curating marketing collections, maintaining effective storage rooms, leading groups of individuals towards a common goal, and tackling a host of other organizing conundrums.
It has been an honor to work with committed individuals in order to reach their organizing goals and change their lives. Nothing lights me up like hearing jubilant clients exclaim that they are ecstatic to reach their goals and discover that letting go and getting organized has opened up entirely new avenues in their lives.
