Service Approach
Organizing for YOU -
your space, your stuff, your style!
I offer personalized organizing services to meet your needs, based on how your brain works & how your space functions.
In the end, I want you to have a space you feel safe & calm in - that does not overwhelm you & makes your day-to-day easier.
You deserve it! Taking care of your space is a way to take care of yourself (and your family) - everyone could use support.
Allowing someone into your space can be intimate & requires trust. I do not take this lightly - it is honor & privilege to be invited, and I am committed to taking great care of your items, maintaining confidentiality, and providing a judgement-free experience.

I will meet with you in the space that needs organizing & take a quick look at the project, and then to sit down & chat a bit! This is a great time for you to ask any questions you have & get to know me. I will ask about your needs, vision, product preferences, pain points & desired approach. Within 3 business days, I will provide you with a written proposal that you can review before booking.
“I don’t know” is a perfectly acceptable answer! We will work together to figure out the best plan of attack.
You do not have to have anything prepared & do not feel the need to clean up before I come. I am here to meet you where you are & see how your space functions - not to add the stress of “cleaning for company”.
“Products” refer to bins, baskets, and organizing tools. While I can make recommendations, this is entirely up to your preference, style, and budget! Do you want to splurge on the most innovative & “pretty” products? I am here for it! Do you want to save money on products & have me use whatever bins, Tupperware, shoeboxes, etc. you have around? Sounds good to me!
If you have questions before we meet for a full consultation - feel free to call!

You will book organizing services at any increment of time that feels best for you.
We can approach organizing a couple different ways: “Done FOR You” , “Done WITH You” or a “Hybrid” approach.You do not need to clean up or prep ahead of time! In fact, I prefer you don’t, as we will take a look at how you naturally tend to “drop” or “stuff” things in your home to understand how your brain works & how to make organizing decisions that will make your system maintainable for you.
Specialized Needs
With a background in social services, I have experience supporting individuals in all walks of life with varying needs. I approach every project with compassion and care - focusing on a strength & need based approach. I may be a good fit for:
individuals experiencing grief/loss
individuals with neurodivergence, including ADHD & OCD
individuals with mental health conditions, including anxiety & depression
individuals with disabilities
individuals pre or post birthing
individuals with child welfare involvement and environmental concerns
individuals with mild to moderate hoarding disorder*
If desired, I am happy to work with your other supports or services providers (therapists, case workers, family, friends, etc.).
*Hoarding Disorder
While many may use the term “hoarding” for those who hold sentimental value in things, or whose accumulation of belongings has become excessive - true hoarding disorder is a mental health condition most commonly diagnosed in individuals that experience significant distress associated with discarding items, especially items that that most individuals would not find value in.
I support individuals with hoarding disorder and their loved ones through a harm-reduction approach. We will work as a team to identify priorities based on safety needs. Balancing progress while also working at a pace that is not going to cause psychological harm or distress is important. I highly encourage individuals to be concurrently working with a therapist.
In cases of severe hoarding where an extreme purge/quick clean-out is needed, or an individual is facing significant health/sanitation hazards, booking a company specializing in “hoard clean outs” (often advertised as “junk removal”) may be more appropriate. Give me a call or book a consultation to discuss what may be best!
