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.
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.
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.
I spent years in the corporate world learning how systems work — how to look at something complicated, figure out what’s broken, and build something that actually holds. When I started bringing those skills into people’s homes and life transitions, I realized this was the work I was supposed to be doing.
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 Arizona, I’ve invested in training that goes well beyond aesthetics. I understand the reasons spaces get stuck — the psychology behind clutter, the barriers that make it hard to let go, and how to build systems that actually fit the way you live day to day. When a client is working through something deeper — grief, depression, hoarding tendencies — I’m comfortable being part of that team, working alongside their therapist or care manager as needed.
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.
An honest picture of what working together actually looks like.
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. Session one.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 came in when I had no idea where to start with my mom’s house. She was calm, patient, and so incredibly efficient. I honestly couldn’t have done it without her.
