I CAN SEE MY FLOOR AGAIN.
TL:DR: Hire her.
I contacted Sam for help tackling my bedroom which, despite my best efforts, had remained an overwhelming mess after a room change and move.
I’d been resistant to working with a professional organizer because I truly believed that if I could just find the time, the right method, the right external motivator, enough focus and a solid plan, I could handle it myself. But even when all of those things aligned, I’d end up frozen for hours with little to no progress. I couldn’t part with items I knew no longer served a purpose, I’d get distracted rediscovering things, and piles simply moved from one corner of the room to another.
When the anxiety, frustration, and fatigue became too much, I researched how I could get help, what a professional organizers does, and ended up on Thumbtack looking for one in my area.
That’s how I found Sam.
I listed my job request around 6:00pm and Sam responded almost immediately. By 6:30pm we were on a phone call discussing what I hoped to accomplish, how she works, and any questions I could think of. As someone hiring an organizer for the first time, I was incredibly anxious, but Sam was patient, reassuring, and never made me feel rushed or embarrassed. By the end of the call, we had my first session scheduled for the following week.
What followed were 2 days, 10 total hours, that quite literally gave me my room, and ability to breathe, back.
Sam was punctual and, admittedly, arrived ready to work a few minutes before I was (first-day nerves had me running around trying to get myself together).
Sam has genuine talent for this work and this was clearly not her first rodeo.
Here are 4 main points of my time with her:
1. As someone who loves knick-knacks, has a tendency to hold onto things “just in case,” and is admittedly a little quirky, I was worried either I, or the project, would be overwhelming. Again, not her first rodeo. Sam made me feel completely comfortable just being myself and somehow knew when I needed a gentle push forward, when I needed space to process, and when I had frozen completely. There was never judgment—only patience, encouragement, and practical solutions.
2. Within the first two hours we reclaimed a section of floor that had been buried for months and Sam surprised me by immediately vacuuming the area once clear (she has my undying appreciation for this). By the end of the ten hours I had enough floor space to enthusiastically in; small joys.
3. All items were thoughtfully sorted and kept in a labeled area, tossed, and donated—- *actually* donated instead of staying in my car. Sam encouraged me to post/place items out for my neighborhood ‘Buy Nothing Group’ in real time and generously took small bags to Salvation Army at the end of the day. These were small, but hugely meaningful, tasks that further whittled down my mental to-do list.
4. Throughout the entire process Sam was kind, supportive, funny, appropriately blunt when needed, and wonderfully intuitive. She also brought her own supplies, took initiative when I had to step away, and struck the perfect balance of letting me make decisions while keeping the momentum going.
2 days, 10 hours, with Sam accomplished what months of my own efforts couldn’t, and helped me reach manageable point to keep working from without being overwhelmed.
If you’re in a similar situation or can related to the above: hire Sam.

Sam is a joy to work with. She has now helped me de-clutter 2 rooms and start the photo organizing project. Sam is personable, capable, sunny and a hard worker. She takes initiative and comes up with good storage solutions. I would recommend her very, very highly.

Sam is such a pleasure to work with! I’ve now hired her twice to help me declutter and organize two different rooms in my house, and it has relieved so much stress for me. She comes without judgement, just a smile and positivity, and ready to dive in.

Sam is amazing. She was extremely responsive, very organized, and efficient. She clearly explains her process in advance and asks for photos so she has context. She completely transformed my space and I learned a lot of best practice to (hopefully) maintain the transformation. Thanks, Sam!

Sam was amazing from start to finish! She responded very quickly and we were able to hop on a call and she was available at my earliest convenience. She arrived on time and ready to start! She was helpful the whole time giving me suggestions and options of what I could do to make the space functional for me. I made sure she could come back to do more organizing for me! Thank you Sam!!!
