Lisa draws on her training in psychology, education, business, and coaching as well as her past experience in research, organizational development, and strategic planning at non-profit-organizations and world-class technology firms. She earned her B.A. in Experimental Psychology at Revelle College at University of California San Diego and her M.S. in Education & Psychological Studies at California State University East Bay. She received her professional coaching-specific training from Coach Training Alliance, VIA Institute, and Fielding Graduate University.

Outside of her coaching practice, Lisa maintains a life-long interest in the arts. She is a published poet, a playwright, a screenwriter, and a film director. She is a steering committee member and producer at Play Cafe in Berkeley, CA. Several plays that she co-wrote with her husband, Nick, have been performed in California. Their films have premiered at the California Independent Film Festival and the Danville International Children’s Film Festival.

I love exploring the concept of clutter—on the physical, mental, and energetic planes—and enjoy helping clients improve in these areas. When beneficial to our mutual client, I enjoy working together with complimentary professionals such as therapist, personal assistants, or real estate agents.

As a Certified Coach, I specialize in working with Entrepreneurs, individuals with ADD / ADHD, and people who struggle with Compulsive Hoarding. I often work with clients on Time Management and Productivity skills. I often serve as a mentor coach for new coaches enrolled in a coaching certification program.

On the hands-on organizing side, Simplified provides a variety of services to help individuals get organized and declutter their homes and home office (see specialties listed below). We have a team of Professional Organizers are available to work on large-scale, moving, or rushed organizing projects.

I believe strongly in education—that knowledge is power. I hold two distinguished Coaching Certifications—ACC and CPCC. I have a Master’s in Education from DePaul University. I have earned Hoarding Specialist and Chronic Disorganization Specialist Certificates from the Institute for Challenging Disorganization.

I offer a free phone consultation to discuss organizing needs. I also offer a free 45-minute coaching session for those interested in seeing if I am the right coaching fit for them. I am very open to building my network and professional alliances. Feel free to message me at anytime!
