About Ellen and Professional-Organizer.com
For more than 20 years, I’ve had the joy of helping people create organized spaces and systems that make life a little easier. I’m a Certified Professional Organizer and Certified Family Manager Coach, and I founded Professional-Organizer.com with the belief that getting organized should feel supportive, practical, and personalized—not overwhelming!
What I love most about my work is getting to know my clients and working with them one-on-one in their homes and offices. Whether we’re tackling a cluttered closet, creating a filing system, setting up a family calendar, or finding better ways to manage everyday routines, I love helping people discover what works best for them.
I’m also a lifelong learner and have earned credentials through the National Association of Productivity & Organizing Professionals (NAPO), the Institute for Challenging Disorganization (ICD), and the Coach Approach Institute.
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to share my expertise through articles in the Wall Street Journal, Reader’s Digest, and the Houston Chronicle.
No two days look exactly alike—and that’s one of the things I love about this work! My goal is to help you create systems that fit your life, reduce stress, and give you more time and energy for the things that matter most.
I’d love to help you get organized in a way that feels doable, sustainable, and uniquely yours.

10 Things You Should Know About Me
Want to get to know the person behind the organizing? Here are 10 fun things about me!
- I love teamwork and collaboration.
Of course I do—I’m a twin! I’ve always enjoyed working alongside others and believe we can accomplish more together. - My favorite quote is:
“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.” — Henry David Thoreau - I started my career as a kindergarten teacher.
I guess I’ve always loved helping people learn, grow, and figure things out! - I love Pilates, cupcakes, and Skittles.
Just ask my NAPO colleagues! I believe a little movement and a little sweetness are both good for the soul. - My favorite space to organize is a pantry.
There’s just something so satisfying about turning a cluttered pantry into a functional, easy-to-use space. - I’ve only lived in three places.
Houston, New York, and New Orleans. Each city has given me wonderful memories and experiences that have shaped who I am. - My idea of a great Saturday night?
Sitting next to my husband on the sofa, relaxing, and watching a Hallmark movie. Sometimes simple is perfect! - I love the Food Network.
The Pioneer Woman and Ina Garten are favorites. And if you come to my house, you may get to try my amazing taco dip! - Yes, my home is organized—but not perfectly.
It’s organized perfectly for me and my husband. I believe organization should work for the people who live in the space, not look like a magazine. - I love organizing, but I love making a difference even more.
The best part of my work is seeing the relief, confidence, and joy that comes when a client has systems that truly work for them.
