The Shelf Aware Difference

We are passionate about helping people find relief from chaos and tension caused by their home environment. We understand that a variety of circumstances can make it difficult to thrive in your space. These include life transitions, changes to established routines, and more.

Everyone deserves support and validation during such periods. We offer assistance to process the physical items contributing to the overwhelm. We use a non-judgmental team approach, working with you to sort, declutter, and form systems of organization. We also bring experience helping people with Executive Function challenges such as time management, planning, motivation/initiation, and reducing distractibility.

Decluttering

Decluttering ranges from removing boxes and trash, to processing and resourcefully donating household and sentimental items. What to keep and get rid of is always the client’s decision. I offer supportive strategies to assist decision making, while respecting and honoring the choices each client makes.

Everyone has that one closet or drawer (or whole room) that ends up disorderly moments after it’s been cleaned. We’ll look at how you need your space to function. Then we’ll work together to find systems to maintain your space after the organizing is complete.

Paperwork and Filing Systems

Whether it’s a mile high stack of papers on your desk, thousands of unread emails in your inbox, or a recurring pile of mail on the kitchen island, it’s useful to have a system to sort, organize, and prioritize what needs your attention. We maintain confidentiality while establishing filing systems to help locate and maintain your most important documents.
