Looking for professional organizer/decluttering help in Silicon Valley

My mom says she will hire a professional organizer for her house if I find a reputable one for her. The level of clutter is not creating an unsanitary environment (no pets, dishes are washed, etc.) but the accumulation of paper and books worries me and my brother and I have to keep on her to not let her piles of paper spread to the floor and create a slipping hazard as it's been in the past. I'm looking for an organizer who ideally specializes in elderly clientele. There's a mild hoarding mindset in place here (I had an argument with her on Christmas about recycling the tower of cardboard drink holders, for instance) along with some compulsive spending issues that seem common to people her age (early 80s) judging from my friends' comments about their parents.

I mainly need an exceptionally trustworthy person who understands that this isn't just an issue of going in and tossing things. There are financial documents in piles along with out of date magazine articles and email printouts. Any recommendations?
