When clutter is stressing your relationship, you don’t need more conversations. You need a plan.
I help couples organize their homes using a clear, practical framework—so clutter stops creating frustration and fights, and you can get back on the same team.
When the house becomes the stressor, everything else gets harder.
You’re not bad at communication.
Your body is responding to the clutter — signaling that your clutter threshold needs aren’t being met.
Clutter is the initiating stressor — and when it piles up, even good partnerships feel strained, frustrated, or quietly tense.
More order at home means less frustration—and more connection between you.
When the space works better, everyday life does too.
My Signature Framework: ALIGN
A — Address Current Reality
We begin by addressing what is actually happening in your home and relationship (yes, including the spots that make you fantasize about quietly screaming into a pillow).
L — Loving Communication
You learn how to clearly communicate your needs without frustration and hear each other without things turning into a fight (especially in those moments when you’re one comment away from declaring World War IV on your partner).
I — Intentional Inventory
You begin to notice how the amount of stuff in your home affects your energy, your time, and your relationship (especially the piles that seem to multiply when no one is looking).
G — Generate Your Home Map
You create a clear, shared understanding of where things live in your home (so you’re not the default human GPS for every object anyone can’t find).
N— Nurture Your Sanctuary
You commit to simple, tangible tools that help maintain the transformation in your home and your relationship (so your space stays a sanctuary, not a slow-burn resentment factory).
Private Support (Application-Only)
This work is personalized, intensive, and designed for real change — not surface-level fixes.
• High-investment
• Limited availability
• Fit matters
• Not everyone is accepted
The Heart & Home Strategy Session is the required entry point.
From there, we decide together whether private support makes sense — and what level of support is actually needed.
“How did this happen? Somehow the talented Colette made it fun to declutter, downsize, and organize. Letting go went from being painful to an act of personal freedom for each of us. The results are a far more liveable, beautiful, relaxing (and merged) household. This would not have been possible on our own, and our relationship suffered from our inaction. Colette shows up with compassion and purpose, and it was a fantastic investment in our relationship.”

“What once felt impossible became manageable through small steps and shared decisions. Our home began to feel more enjoyable to be in, and the tension we used to carry slowly lifted. Even years later, the systems and habits we built together are still part of our family life.”
- Wendy H. Boulder, CO
“I felt immense relief having a credible partner in the decision-making process. What felt overwhelming became intentional, and the space began to support the life I was creating. The work brought clarity, confidence, and a deep sense of ease during a major life transition.”
-Heather W. San Luis Obisps, CA
Common Questions
Is this therapy?
No. This work is practical and action-based. We focus on the home as a shared system so stress doesn’t turn into conflict.
What if my partner isn’t on board yet?
That’s common. Many people start solo. The work often creates clarity and momentum that naturally brings a partner in.
Do you work with overwhelm?
Yes. The work is structured, paced, and designed to reduce overload—not add to it.
How quickly will we see change?
Most people feel relief and clarity after the first session. Sustainable change builds through shared action over time.
