After earning Master of Arts and Master of Education in Counseling Psychology at Teachers College-Columbia University, I worked for 19 years as a psychiatric rehabilitation counselor and treatment coordinator/social worker at hospitals in White Plains, NY and Berkeley, CA.  I specialize in ADHD, trauma, gifted/twice exceptional, chronic disorganization and grief issues.  Since 2009, I have been a member of National Association of Professional Organizers and an active member of the San Francisco Hoarding Task Force then the Chicagoland Hoarding Task Force.  I co-founded a non-profit to raise funds and advocate for gifted students.  I grew up on a research farm in Minnesota.
