What exactly do you do?​

As a fellow Boomer, I help you manage the stuff that's accumulated over a lifetime. That might mean tackling a spare bedroom that's become a catch-all, organizing a home office that's gotten out of hand, or finally making sense of the paper piles that have taken over the kitchen counter. I work alongside you, at your pace, with zero pressure and zero judgment. Think of it less like hiring a service and more like having a friend who's been through it herself and knows the way out.

​

What makes you different from other organizers?

Most professional organizers are wonderful at what they do — but they're often decades younger and may be working from a system they learned in a classroom. I'm a Boomer who has lived this. I've stood in the middle of a room full of things that mattered and had to figure out what to do next in my own home and in our parents' homes. That shared experience changes everything. I'm not here to tell you how it should look. I'm here to help you get to a place that feels like you again.

​

Do I have to be ready to get rid of everything?

Absolutely not. There's no quota here, no pressure to purge, and no one keeping score. Some days you'll feel ready to let a lot go. Other days you'll hold something and decide it stays — and that's perfectly fine. My job is to help you make decisions that feel right to you, not to hit a number or fill a donation bag. We go at whatever pace feels manageable.

​

How do I know if I'm ready to start?

Honestly? If you're reading this, you're probably closer to ready than you think. Many people don't feel "ready" — they feel overwhelmed, maybe a little embarrassed, and not sure where to begin. That's exactly where I come in. You don't have to have it figured out before you call. That's what the first conversation is for.

What does the process of working together look like?

We start with a phone conversation —so I can understand what you're dealing with and what you most want to accomplish. From there, we schedule a free consultation in your home so that I can become more familiar with your home and create a game plan.

 

How long does it take?

There's no honest one-size-fits-all answer here, and I won't pretend otherwise. It depends on how much you're working through, how quickly decisions come, and how much emotional weight is attached to what we're sorting. Some spaces take a single session. Others are a longer journey. What I can promise is that we won't rush, but every hour we spend together will move you forward.

​

Do I have to be home the whole time?

Yes — and that's intentional. This is your home and your belongings, and every decision belongs to you. I'm not here to sort things for you while you run errands. I'm here to work with you. I don't disappear into a room and reappear with boxes. Having you present also means nothing gets moved, donated, or set aside without your say-so.

​

What happens to the things I decide to let go of?

That depends on what you'd like. I can help coordinate donation drop-offs to local organizations, point you toward reputable junk removal services for larger items, assist with getting things to family members who may want them, or personally assist with removal. We'll make a clear plan so nothing sits in limbo.

Will you judge me for how my house looks?

Not for a single second. The clutter that accumulates over decades isn't a character flaw. It's what happens when life is full and time is short and things keep arriving faster than decisions can be made. There is nothing you could show me that would change how I treat you. You'll have my full respect from the moment we meet.

​

Is this confidential?

Completely. What I see in your home — whether it's financial papers, personal letters, family dynamics, or just the state of a closet — stays between us. I take that trust seriously.

​

Do you work alone or bring a crew? I work alone, or with my husband on larger jobs or when a job calls for heavy lifting or moving larger furniture. You won't have a team of strangers in your home. For most clients, that matters — and I understand why.

How much does it cost?

I offer straightforward hourly rates, and I'll always be upfront about what to expect before we begin. The best way to get an accurate picture is to schedule a free consultation — that gives us both a chance to assess the scope and make sure we're a good fit before any commitment is made.

​

Do you offer a free consultation?

Yes. Always. I won't ask you to invest anything before we've had a real conversation about what you're facing and what you need. The consultation is a chance to ask questions, see if my approach feels right for you, and get a clear sense of what working together would look like.

​

What areas do you serve?

I'm based in Mount Pleasant and serve the greater Charleston area. If you're not sure whether you're in my range, just reach out — I'm happy to let you know.

​

Can my adult children hire you on my behalf?

They can absolutely reach out and start the conversation. That said, I always make sure the person I'm working with — the one whose home and belongings we're sorting — is on board and comfortable. This process works best when it's chosen, not arranged. If a family member points you my way, that's wonderful. I just want to make sure you want to be here too.
