“Helping to organize people’s homes, and developing a process-focused strategy, are things I love to do naturally. I am mindful that to get organized, my clients often need to open personal spaces where private things have been stored and need to be sorted through. Honoring and respecting each client’s unique situation is at the core of what I do. I understand this is not an easy process. - Kathy”
