Your home should be a place where you can relax. Decluttering removes distraction and provides space for things that are important to you. It should be the first step of getting organized. It is counterproductive to try to organize things you no longer love, need or use.
Organization is putting stuff in its proper place, where it can be used when needed. There is no “one-size” fits all approach to organizing. Everyone has different needs and priorities, and your organizational system should be designed to accommodate your individual preferences and vision. Working with a professional organizer keeps you in control but gives you the help you need to make a system that works for you. Get rid of the chaos so you can enjoy your home more fully.
Decluttering Services
Decluttering is not just getting rid of stuff, although that is certainly a big part of most decluttering. It is also about finding ways to get more use out of the things you want to keep. Three shoe boxes of photographs at the back of a closet might be important, but they are not being appreciated crammed into a closet. Keeping only the photos you love and scanning them to enjoy digitally makes them easier to properly cherish. It makes it easy to display and share with friends and family.
With judgment free support, we can work to keep what is sentimental and clear unnecessary clutter. It can be hard to let go of things, but ultimately, with some help, it can help improve your life dramatically. We focus on what has special meaning to you, helping keep those memories alive.

Organizing Services
After the clutter is removed, the organizing can begin. Organization is about making your living space more comfortable and more functional. Everything should have a home within your home. Things should be easily found when they are needed. Tasks are more efficient and save you time while avoiding frustration. How your home is organized is based on the space available as well as how you live your life. Organization is not just about organizing something once, maintaining it. The system has to work for you and your lifestyle. Using a professional organizer brings you experience and options so that the right organization method works for you long term.
Keep in mind that some organization systems will require the purchase of items, like baskets, containers, or even closet organizing materials to get you where you want to be. Organizing is not simply rearranging what you have, but making the most out of what you have. Organization can help elevate your space so that it is a living area that contributes to your well-being, joy, and piece of mind. Let me show you how much more enjoyment you can get out of your home.

Fees
Fees are based on the scope and type of project. Most services are charged by the hour and can range from $50 an hour for planning work, and up to $125 an hour for clearing junk from a basement. Before we start, I will break down the anticipated fees. Of course things can change as we get into the project, but I will let you know about additional charges if something changes (like finding hazardous materials). Hourly fees do not include costs of hauling away materials, purchasing of organizing materials, or additional labor or material costs for third party contractors. All expenses will be approved in advance by you. A deposit will be required prior to work started, with the full balance invoiced to you at the time the job is completed.
Payment
I accept cash, credit and debit cards, checks, and payments through Zelle,, PayPal, and Venmo.
