That finding your things shouldn’t be an issue. That you should be able to invite people over without feeling embarrassed.

If Clutter is Holding You Back, I Can Help

How do you know when it’s time to hire a professional organizer?

• When you’ve taken an online decluttering challenge every January for the past six years and you still have enough stuff to open your own thrift store.
• When you’re sick of hiding things in the oven or behind the couch when visitors arrive.
• When you see how your parents or grandparents are living and you realize you don’t want that for yourself.

When you’ve tried to declutter by yourself and gotten nowhere.

When you’ve tried to get organized with friends and the experiment ended quickly with hurt feelings all around.

• When Get Organized always tops your New Year’s resolution list.
• When you have a second child and realize the stuff has quadrupled instead of merely doubling.
• When a crisis hits and you realize on a gut level that life’s too short to waste any more time hunting through the piles. 

When You’re Ready

If today is not that day, don’t worry. But don’t wait too long. Every day you let go by living in a place that bothers you with mess and clutter spilling all over the place, is a day you’re not spending enjoying a clean, clear welcoming space that you can really call home.

Don’t be ashamed. Don’t worry about whether you have the worst house I’ve ever seen. Don’t despair that because you haven’t been able to fix this problem, no one can. If your attempts to deal with clutter have been overwhelming and frustrating, I can help you take care of this problem compassionately, cheerfully and completely nonjudgmentally.

My clients include people who realize that downsizing is going to be hell on wheels if they don’t do something about their clutter now, and people whose ADHD (formally diagnosed or not) has stymied their best efforts to get organized.

My process takes away the shame and the embarrassment. As we work together to get things straightened out, you’ll learn insider skills and strategies. Keeping your home organized after I’m gone will be simple.

“Lucy’s approach to decluttering just makes sense to me.  She focuses on the individual, and is well aware that what works for one person might not for another. She has a unique combination of kindness and clarity of thought.”

Sarah G., Louisville
