Why I Believe Organizing Is About More Than Organizing

Hi, I’m Amy.
I spent years working directly in people's homes as a professional organizer. I helped clients declutter, make decisions, create systems, and bring order to spaces that felt overwhelming.
The work was often successful. Homes looked better, functioned better, and clients felt relieved.
But something kept bothering me.
For some clients, especially those with ADHD, the results didn't last. Not because they didn't care or weren't trying. Over time, the clutter returned, the routines fell away, and the systems became difficult to maintain.
I became increasingly interested in why that is and what actually helps.
That curiosity eventually led me to coach training and a deeper understanding of what helps people create lasting change.
Today, I combine organizing expertise with coaching to help ADHD and neurodivergent adults understand what gets in the way of maintaining their homes and build habits, routines, structure, and support that last.
Why I work the way I do
Most organizing advice focuses on the visible problem: the clutter, the overflowing closet, the paper piles, the room that never seems to stay organized.
Those things matter. But over the years I became convinced that they are rarely the whole story.
For many ADHD and neurodivergent adults, the real challenge is not getting organized. It's maintaining the systems, routines, and habits that organizing requires.
You can create a beautiful system in an afternoon. Living with that system day after day is something else entirely.
That's why my work focuses less on the space itself and more on understanding how you function. Together, we explore what's getting in the way, what helps, what support you need, and what conditions make organizing easier to sustain over time.
The goal isn't to create a perfectly organized home. It's to create a home that works better because it reflects a better understanding of how you work.
My Qualifications
I am a Certified Professional Organizer® (CPO®), a credential awarded by the Board of Certification for Professional Organizers. Earning this designation required documenting substantial paid organizing experience, passing a comprehensive certification exam, and committing to ongoing continuing education and professional ethics.
I am also a graduate of the Foundation Core Curriculum at the Coach Approach Training Institute (CATI), an ICF-accredited coach training program. My training included strengths-based coaching, brain-based coaching, life and ADHD coaching, and coach integration.
Long before I became a coach, I spent years working directly in clients' homes as a professional organizer. That experience continues to inform my work every day. It gave me a practical understanding of the organizing challenges people face and a front-row seat to the question that ultimately led me here: why some organizing efforts last and others don't.
I am an active member of NAPO, ICD, and ACO and continue to pursue advanced training in ADHD, neurodiversity, organizing, coaching, and executive function support.
