Hi, I’m Dawn,

I’m the founder of Sort for Joy, and I help people create calm, functional homes in a way that feels supportive—not overwhelming.

I’ve seen firsthand that most people don’t need more discipline or more time—they just need a place to start.

Want support beyond this?

If you decide you don’t want to do this alone, I offer hands-on, judgment-free organizing support in homes across Northern Virginia, Washington, D.C., Howard, Montgomery, Anne Arundel counties in Maryland.

This is your starting point

In just a couple of minutes, you’ll get a personalized suggestion for where to begin—based on your energy, your space, and what’s been getting in the way.

  • A simple first step

  • A focus area (not your whole house)

  • A way to move forward without overwhelm
