Understanding and Managing Hoarding Challenges: As a seasoned Hoarding Consultant with over ten years of hands-on experience, I, Leslie, bring a wealth of knowledge and a deep understanding of hoarding behaviors. My approach is grounded in compassion, expertise, and a commitment to reducing stigma around hoarding. Having completed a dissertation research study on community responses to hoarding for my PhD, I am well-equipped to provide expert guidance and personalized recommendations for each unique situation.

In this role, I offer:

• Tailored Strategies: Develop practical, empathetic solutions to address hoarding behavior while respecting the individual’s emotional connection to their possessions.
• Family and Supporter Guidance: Offer crucial support and resources to family members and supporters responsible for loved ones living with hoarding challenges, helping them navigate these complex situations with understanding and care.
• Special Focus on Adult Children of Hoarding Parents: Recognizing the specific challenges faced by those who grew up in hoarded environments, I provide a safe space for sharing, healing, and connecting with appropriate resources and support.
• Actionable Recommendations: Each consultation is followed by clear, actionable steps towards creating a healthier, safer living environment, always honoring the individual’s pace and readiness for change.

Let’s work together to create a path forward that respects individual needs and fosters a healthier, more manageable living environment.

Sharing Knowledge, Shaping Understanding: As an integral part of my mission to raise awareness and provide support, I offer engaging and informative presentations that focus on the complexities of hoarding and the challenges of living with brain-based conditions. These presentations are designed not just for individuals directly affected but also for families, supporters, and professionals seeking a deeper understanding of these issues.

In these sessions, you can expect:

• Insightful Discussions on Hoarding: Explore the psychological, emotional, and social aspects of hoarding, including strategies for effective intervention and support.
• Understanding Brain-Based Conditions: Gain valuable insights into how conditions like ADHD, Autism Spectrum, and others impact organizational abilities and daily living, and learn how to create supportive environments.
• Empowering Supporters and Families: Equip families and supporters with the knowledge and tools they need to compassionately and effectively assist their loved ones.
• Expert Guidance for Professionals: Provide professionals in organizing, mental health, and related fields with a deeper understanding of these conditions and best practices for working with affected individuals.
• Community Engagement and Stigma Reduction: Through these presentations, I aim to foster a more informed and empathetic community perspective, reducing stigma and promoting positive, supportive approaches.

Whether for community groups, professional organizations, or educational institutions, my presentations are tailored to meet the specific needs and interests of each audience, ensuring a relevant and impactful experience.

By embracing your unique skills, talents, and perspectives, you can create an organized home that truly reflects who you are and what is important to you!

Leslie adapts to your pace and guides you through the three phases of organizing:

Phase 1 – Sort and Organize
Phase 2 – Set up Systems
Phase 3 – Containerize and Style

Instead of focusing on what’s wrong or what you don’t have, she encourages you to look at your home as a place of strength and value. She coaches you to welcome the diversity of thought, culture, and traits that you bring to the table and use them to create a home that reflects who you are.
