Qualifications

I hold four different certifications

• International Coach Federation Credentialed Coach since 2015
• Certified ADHD Productivity Coach since 2025
• Certified Professional Organizer® since 2009
• Certified Professional Organizer in Chronic Disorganization® since 2009

My first career was in nursing, and continues to influence my perspective. I was licensed as an RN in 1985, and converted to inactive status in 2021.

Since 2006, I have worked full time helping people address their organizational challenges, and my clients have been some of my best educators.

I meet my formal continuing education requirements through conferences, workshops, webinars, and interactive teleclasses. My areas of focus are ADHD in specific and neurodivergence in general, neuroscience of transformation, habit building, mindfulness, mood disorders, perfectionism, procrastination, resilience, self-compassion and the psychology around clutter and time management.

I have earned multiple individual certificates of study and specialization through the Institute for Challenging Disorganization (ICD).
