You don’t have to be embarrassed about where you’re starting.

I’m a Professional Organizer serving the greater Phoenix area — and the projects I take on are the ones most people are too overwhelmed, too ashamed, or too emotionally exhausted to ask for help with. That’s exactly why I’m here.

LET’S ORGANIZE IT

I take on the jobs most organizers won’t. And honestly, those are my favorites.

I’ve spent years working on the projects that feel too far gone, too painful, or too complicated — estates, hoarding situations, packed garages, moves that got out of hand. These are the jobs I was built for.

Hoarding and high-stakes organizing

This is where I spend most of my time, and I want to be honest about why: hoarding situations are hard. They’re emotionally heavy, physically demanding, and most organizers would rather not deal with them. I’m not one of those organizers.

I’ve worked in homes where you couldn’t see the floor. I’ve helped families navigate estates that hadn’t been touched in decades. I’ve sat with people who were overwhelmed, ashamed, and didn’t know where to start — and I’ve helped them find a way through. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. I’m not here to judge. I’m here to help.

I’m also comfortable being part of your care team. If you’re working with a therapist, counselor, or case manager, I can coordinate with them directly. Real change sticks better when the outer work and the inner work happen together.

Included in this work

Home Organization

Kitchens, closets, bedrooms, and the spaces you actually live in. I help you build systems that fit how your household really works.

We start with the rooms that cause the most friction day to day. I pay attention to how you move through your space and how your family uses it, so the systems we set up still make sense six months from now.

Garages & Storage Areas

Garages, storage units, basements, and the spots where everything ends up. These take their own kind of plan, and I like the challenge.

Storage areas are usually where decisions get postponed, so they hold a little of everything. I help you sort through what is really there, decide what stays, and set up zones that keep the space usable instead of filling back up.

Office & Digital Organization

Paper files, digital folders, and a workspace you can think in. This is the systems thinking I built over years in the working world.

Disorganized files cost you time and a quiet hum of stress every day. I help you build a filing system that works on paper and on your computer, so you can find what you need without digging. When it makes sense, I help with scanning and digitizing too.

Moving, Downsizing & Packing

Local moves from start to finish, including the packing and unpacking. I can handle the whole thing so moving day feels calm instead of chaotic.

Packing is a big part of what I do, and handling it myself makes the whole move smoother. I help you decide what comes with you before anything goes in a box, pack it carefully, coordinate the movers, then unpack and set up your new place so it feels like home the first night.

Working With Seniors

Organizing that meets people where they are. I work at a comfortable pace and help families through transitions with patience and respect.

Helping an older adult organize or downsize asks a lot of everyone. I set spaces up so they are easy on the body and easy to keep up with, and I am comfortable being the calm middle person between a parent and their family when feelings run high. I also help preserve what matters most, including photos and keepsakes, which ties into my background in conservation and photography.

Whole-Project Coordination

Bigger projects need more than one person. I can scale up with a trusted team and coordinate every part of the job, so you have one point of contact.

I am not only an organizer. For large or time-sensitive projects I bring in a vetted team and coordinate the professionals a job needs, from custom storage installs and handyman work to waste removal. I can manage your move and your movers, list items for sale on Facebook Marketplace, and arrange or host an estate sale when that is the right call.

THE WORK

Real spaces. Real people. Real results.

Every project starts somewhere, and most of them start exactly where you would expect. Here is what the same spaces look like after we work through them together.

I’m also a professional photographer and former museum curator, which means I bring a trained eye to organizing, digitizing, and preserving photo collections — from loose prints to hard drives — anywhere in the U.S.

ABOUT ME

I show up for the jobs that matter most.

Before this work I spent years as a conservator — careful, methodical work preserving things that matter. That’s where I learned to look at something complicated, figure out what it actually needs, and build something that holds. I also hold a degree in psychology, and the two together are the heart of how I work.

The projects I love most are the ones other organizers tend to avoid. Hoarding situations. Estate cleanouts. The garage that hasn’t been opened in years. The move that feels completely unmanageable. I’m drawn to these jobs because the difference they make is real — not just in the space, but in the life of the person living in it.

As a member of NAPO — nationally and here in Arizona — I’ve invested in training that goes well beyond aesthetics. My psychology background means I pay attention to how you actually think, and to the mental and emotional weight decluttering puts on a person and a whole family. I don’t just throw containers at a problem and hope they fit. When a client is working through something deeper — grief, depression, hoarding tendencies — I’m comfortable working alongside their therapist or care manager as part of the team.

I work at your pace. I don’t pressure you to let go of things you’re not ready to release. And I care about doing this responsibly — which means finding good homes for what leaves, recycling what can be recycled, and making sure as little as possible ends up in a landfill.

I serve the greater Phoenix area in person, and I help clients organize their photos and digital files remotely, anywhere in the country.

Clutter isn’t just stuff. It’s postponed decisions, emotional weight, and unfinished business. I help you work through it.

WHAT MAKES ORGANIZE IT WITH LAURA DIFFERENT

Here's what I bring to your project.

An honest picture of what working together actually looks like.

01

You've probably already tried to tackle this yourself.

Most of the people I work with have. It’s not that you didn’t try hard enough — it’s that DIY approaches don’t account for how you think, how you move through a space, or what systems will actually work for your life. I start by understanding how you work, then build around that. You’ll see real progress from the very first session — not weeks from now.

02

There's nothing to be embarrassed about.

I’ve worked in spaces most people would never let anyone see. Whatever your starting point looks like, I’ve been there and I’ve helped people through it. There’s nothing to clean up or explain before I arrive. We assess together and we get to work.

03

I can work one-on-one, or I can bring in a trusted team.

Some projects are perfect for focused one-on-one sessions. Others need more firepower to make meaningful progress quickly. Through my network with NAPO Arizona, I have access to professional organizers I’ve worked closely with — people who meet my standards for quality, discretion, and care. If you need to move faster or the scope is larger, I can scale up. If you want it to be just the two of us, we do it that way.

04

I don't just organize. I can manage the whole project.

Over the years I’ve built real relationships with movers, haulers, estate sale companies, and donation organizations. I can coordinate all of it so you’re not managing vendors and logistics while also making hard decisions about what stays and what goes. I can also help you list items on Facebook Marketplace and other platforms when selling makes more sense than donating. On bigger jobs I’m honest about scope and budget up front. We won’t always finish everything in one pass — we make the most of the time and budget you have, and I’ll tell you plainly what’s realistic.

05

Professional training, real-world experience.

As a member of NAPO Arizona, I’ve committed to professional development, ethics, and industry standards that go well beyond the basics. I understand the psychology behind why spaces get stuck, the barriers that make it hard to let go, and how to build systems that fit the way you actually live. This is my career, and I treat it that way.

06

If you're already working with a therapist or care manager, I'm comfortable being part of that team.

The organizing work and the personal work are connected and they’re more effective when they happen in parallel. I’ve worked alongside therapists, social workers, and care managers many times. You don’t have to choose between the two.

If you’ve read this far, you’re probably ready to at least have a conversation. That’s all it takes to get started.

Laura helped me take back control of my home. She made me queen of my castle and master of my domain, and freed up my time for the things I actually enjoy.
