Every pile of mess is an opportunity for connection.

The Dooley Method is a compassionate, practical, and effective approach that bridges home organizing and connection-based parenting to help families overcome clutter and conflict while building lasting results and improving family dynamics.

Clutter is temporary, but connections last a lifetime.

If you find this relatable, you're not alone. So many families have been in your shoes when they first came to me. I understand because I've been there, too.

I felt hopeless…

Growing up in a cluttered home with parents who practiced “tough love,” I earned their approval by organizing our home. While I felt a sense of control and calm in the process, the people-pleasing strategy fell apart when I had kids. Frustrated and struggling, I was desperate to feel relief. I turned to bribing and threatening to gain my kids’ cooperation. I felt defeated, saddened by guilt and shame.

until I made the connection.

I saw the need to bridge the gap between parenting and home organizing in ways that help families thrive. Rooted in my personal and professional journey, I created the Dooley Method to help children develop confidence, respect, and make purposeful decisions while gaining life skills to care for their home. Meanwhile, parents are empowered to guide with patience, empathy, and grow alongside their children.
