Hi, I’m Jessica Dolan and I am an anal retentive, neat freak. Oh, wait a second, this isn't my OA (Organizers Anonymous) introduction. I will admit that I'm "one of those people". "One of those" who is on time for appointments, knows where items are located, can place my fingers on a file in 5 seconds flat, and has time every single day to do just what I want...and not feel guilty while I'm doing it! I AM a Professional Organizer....or rather a Bringer of Order!

I really love what I do and know that I can make enormous changes in people's lives, homes and offices. Would you really want to work with someone who is sort-of organized, mostly on time or has a general idea of where an item is located? I don't think so! Trust me, you want the anal retentive, neat freak and that's exactly who I am!

I have always loved to help people organize. My experience in working with weight loss has helped me know how setting goals is key to success for the clients. By setting goals for their spaces they are able to stay on task and meet their goals. Each situation is unique therefore I get to know the individual needs of the clients. My patience and compassion help ease the transition and change. Getting clients to part with their things can be hard. Donating and recycling helps them to part with items much easier. Defining “need” versus “want” helps clients feel empowered instead of overwhelmed. I also am known for my handy woman skills, building or setting up what ever is useful to help create that “livable spaces.”

• Can not find needed items
