Opposites Attract??

Remember Felix and Oscar, the "Odd Couple"? Felix was the neatnik and Oscar, well, Oscar was organizationally challenged. If it possible for two completely opposite personalities to peacefully cohabitate and not destroy the relationship? What opposites exist in your life?

Emotionally Charged

Someone once told me that I never seem to get angry. While appreciated, it's not true. I experience the gamut of most human emotions, but do my best to make sure that, as much as is possible, I control my negative emotions and that they don't control me. If you could eliminate one negative emotion, which one would it be and why?

Gratitude Welcomed

Often we give so much of ourselves that it seems precious little is left for us; we seem to give and give and get little in return. While gratitude is always appreciated, it may not always be given. So, take this approach: harness all of the pure joy that exists from your truly altruistic acts and know that even if you seem unappreciated, your deeds are a blessing to someone in need.

About Me

My photo
Washington, DC, United States
I am Dr. Darnita L. Payden, Executive Director/Owner of Dr. DClutter™ Life Management, a division of PreciousOnes™ LLC. I have a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and over 20 years of experience working to help clients discover their strengths and talents. Having worked as a therapist, college professor, grief specialist and trainer, I have encountered in my journey many of the issues my clients may face. I have a sincere desire to help you find clarity, organization and independence in your life and environments. I know that life can be hectic, but I desire to help my clients bring as much order, peace and enjoyment back into their lives as is possible. What separates me from the norm? I focus on the client from a holistic perspective. I realize that most people desire a functional and an organized life, but may simply need support, understanding and information about why they have the habits or tendencies that have led to disorganization. I do not perform “quick fixes” or provide “one-size-fits-all” guidance, but I strive to provide strategies to my clients that will be life changing and useful for a lifetime. Dr. DClutter™ is a name well earned!!
