From one room makeovers to whole home overhauls, her expertise includes home offices, kitchens, garages, bedrooms and closets. One of her greatest strengths is her understanding of human psychology. She has not only worked successfully with moderately disorganized clients, but also with more difficult issues including Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), anxiety, depression, compulsive hoarding, and brain injuries. Past history as well as a person’s working style can make being organized next to impossible. Her experience with a wide range of challenges allows her to help clients move productively forward in their lives. Karen has an eclectic background that gives her unique skills as an organizer. She studied architectural drafting and solar home design, and gained experience in cabinetry and carpentry (she has always loved to be hands on). These home design skills contribute to her awareness of the home as an efficient and nurturing environment. She has managed a 100 year old home rennovation and is a skilled DIYer. On the therapeutic side, she worked for over 20 years in lifestyle and personal coaching as a Holistic Health Practitioner. She also earned a master’s degree in Expressive Arts Therapy, which greatly developed her people skills and creative thinking. Professional organizing is a powerful venue for combining her hands-on talents with her teaching and therapeutic skills to significantly enhance the lives of her clients.
