Regain Peace of Mind While Creating Safe, Open Spaces for What Matters Most

 

Have You...

Read numerous books on downsizing and organization yet needed help implementing new practices?

Worked with others who promised they could help, only to feel like they robbed you of your autonomy?

Tried to explain why letting go of things is so hard to people whose response indicated they didn’t get it?

Found yourself in the store when “IT” pops into view and then, despite your promise to yourself that you wouldn’t bring more things home, get “IT” and begin to loathe “IT” and yourself before you get “IT” home?

“I am passionate about empowering individuals, couples, and families affected by hoarding disorder. I've seen clients and their loved ones transform their living spaces to reflect what matters most to them. I believe you have the strength to make similar changes, and it would be an honor to help you on this journey.”
