About Mimi
I believe that everyone has the capacity to learn the skills needed to be organized and feel confident in setting out to live their everyday lives. When I learned of my own ADHD as a college student, it was communicated to me that the solution was psychiatric medications; however, I quickly realized medications did not help me learn how to manage day-to-day life outside of being able to focus on academic tasks. Even with medications for ADHD, I still struggled with time management, keeping my physical space organized, and forgetfulness. As I was learning how to manage my own chronic disorganization, I discovered tools and strategies that I believe everyone deserves to access in order to improve their quality of life.
I studied psychology and earned a Masters in Clinical Psychology with the goal of becoming a therapist to help people understand and manage chronic disorganization and mental health; however, after a short time in the clinical setting, I learned I preferred a more hands-on approach and entered the world of professional organizing. My educational background in clinical psychology gives me a unique perspective on the connection between mental health and organization. I understand the importance of a relational, individualized, and holistic approach to organizing and tailor the systems I implement to each client’s individual needs.
I am a Certified Professional Organizer through the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals (NAPO) and an active member of the Institute for Challenging Disorganization as well as my local chapter of NAPO, which means I am up to date on industry standards, constantly learning, and engaged with the organizing community to better serve my clients.
