services
I declutter anything or anywhere that is overflowing or disorganized: home, office, garage, file cabinet, tax paperwork, computer files, business, closet, pantry, kitchen, bath, even your car or purse.
I can bring your paperwork up to date and set up systems to pay your bills, manage your projects, or help you get your taxes filed.
I can even help you repair or install things. If you need help with remodeling and turning your home or office into a better functioning space, call me. I’ve designed and installed Ikea kitchens and storage solutions. Why pay thousands to those expensive custom closet companies when more affordable alternatives are available right here in Portland? (But if you would like a custom storage solution, I’ll help you choose and install one that truly meets your needs.)
In short, I can do just about anything that overwhelms you…and I’m even a Notary Public! There’s probably nothing I haven’t done before, but I still embrace every situation as a new adventure. And think of the time and money it will save you to be organized!
Some clients need me for only a few hours, and others keep finding new things for me to do. All clients notice a huge impact after just three or four hours. Take a look at these before-and-after photos of a bedroom after three hours of work:
I work quickly and efficiently, eliminating distractions so you know you’re getting your money’s worth. After I’ve worked with you for the first time, I’ll help you implement a clear and simple maintenance system that fits into your lifestyle and space. But if your life is too busy to keep up with a system or learn new habits, we can devise a periodic-upkeep program in which I’ll return at an agreed-upon frequency to keep things spruce. There’s no shame in this…sometimes life gets in the way of good intentions.
Also, I understand challenges such as Attention Deficit Disorder, ADHD, OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), hoarding and other issues that can prevent you from getting organized, and I’ll work within your particular needs and limitations. There’s no reason to be nervous or embarrassed — again, I realize that people have individual priorities and talents and that everyone needs an individually-tailored solution.

rates
I’m proud of my low rate ($60 per hour), and I encourage you to compare it to that of other experienced professional organizers. I keep my rate low because I want to be accessible to anyone who could benefit from my services. (If you’re low-income, please contact me to discuss a sliding scale.)
