  • If I have ADHD and am neurodivergent, will you consider that when working with me?
    When I organize, I adapt to accommodate neurodiversity and conditions like ADHD, based on my experience working with many clients who face similar challenges. Recognizing and respecting your unique attention spans and energy levels is key to my approach. I incorporate frequent breaks and mindfulness techniques to help you manage tasks more effectively during our sessions together.
  • What is the duration of your sessions?
    My session of decluttering and organizing lasts 5 hours to allow ample time to assess the space, sort through belongings, make decisions on what to keep or discard, and implement organizational systems. This duration allows for a focused and thorough approach, ensuring that we can make significant progress toward achieving your organizational goals without feeling rushed. It also allows for breaks as needed to maintain energy and focus throughout the session.
  • What happens if I get overwhelmed during our session(s)?
