Introduction: Do you ever notice how the amount of clutter around you affects the amount of stress you feel? We’ve all had times where we’ve just chosen to shut the closet door or turn our head from the ever-growing pile of laundry to avoid the negative feelings that come with facing it. Physical mess externally translates into psychological stress internally, and I’m here to help you with those challenging spaces. I know that organizing spaces around you will result in a greater sense of well-being, peace, and control.
For as long as I can remember, I've always loved organizing spaces. There's a certain sense of satisfaction gained from taking a messy and chaotic drawer, closet, or room and transforming it into a peaceful, orderly space. I realize not everybody enjoys organizing as much as I do, but I’ve found that most people do love spending time in organized spaces.
While I naturally enjoy the process of organizing, I also possess a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology and have a background in Education. Additionally, I am a member of the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals (NAPO), the leading resource for professional organizers. I understand that inviting a professional organizer into your home is an intensely personal experience. My background has prepared me to approach each individual’s environment with empathy and respect. Belonging to NAPO binds me to a set of ethics as well, so you can rest assured your privacy and your personal circumstances are of utmost importance to me.

Cherie was very professional. She gave me suggestions on organization items I needed to get prior to the appointment. She helped organize an office with a lot paperwork and toys! The result turned out great! I would recommend if you are getting stuck trying to organize a space.

I never really thought I needed an organizer but am truly glad I found Cherie. I felt overwhelmed by the frequent change of three children’s clothing (size changes and season changes) in their closets. I thought my system was working but it was a complete mess of too small, too big, and just right clothing. When my 3-year old daughter said “my closet is messy” - I knew I needed help.
Cherie worked so hard and communicated with me some strategies she uses as a mother to manage her children’s clothing. First she got every size it’s own storage bin, even shoes and labeled everything clearly. Then she moved the future sizes and past sizes, for little brother to get next, to the basement. With everything appropriately labeled, now the size changes/season changes happen in a matter of minutes and do not linger in the closet with a child wearing much too short of pants. Ha
Thank you for sharing your talents with our family. Children deserve to have reduced clutter in their spaces. It’s a journey and Cherie is there to help me along the way. Try her out. You (and your family) won’t be disappointed!

Cherie is amazing! I cant recommend her enough! She knows her stuff and works with you. She came for a consultation and sent me an email that was amazingly helpful. She gave me a list of things that she suggested we do for each of the rooms I needed her help with. Her email was enough motivation to get me started. When she came, she was very kind and very helpful and was ready to work. I was really impressed with all of the supplies that she brings and all the backups. She is definitely professional and ready for snags you might hit along the way. She taught me different techniques that has really stuck with me. Ever since she left, I have been more organized and have really stuck with it. My only regret is not calling her sooner. I never even knew that something like this even existed. In my desperation I just googled organization and she popped up and I decided to give it a try. Best investment I ever made. she will be coming back next month as I would like for her to come quarterly just to walk around the house with me and help me keep things in order. This has forever changed not only my life, but my familys life. I never realize how organization can really help you in all areas of your life. Its wonderful not going around the house looking for a missing cord, or crayons... or anything! I can confidently tell you where every single thing is in my home. That has never happened before! Whether you are someone who is naturally organized, or someone who is finding their way like me, she is a really wonderful resource to help you get things done quickly. When she came, she was energetic and ready to go! I cant believe what all we accomplished in those two days! Thank you Cherie!!

FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My hourly rate is $75/hour, but I do offer a discount for pre-payment. If you schedule a 4-hour bundle and pay within 48 hours of the appointment, the rate is reduced to $260.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always like to start with an in-person mini consultation so I can see the spaces they want help with, listen to their goals, and find out more about their overall household situation. I provide general estimates and product recommendations at this time. This allows me to come to the first appointment ready with the proper supplies and plans in place.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I possess a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology as well as a teaching certificate. I also belong to the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals, which provides educational opportunities, ethical oversight, and networking within the professional organizing industry.
