Frequently Asked Questions

Unlocking Home is a structured, eight-week organizing-informed consulting and coaching program. We meet for 90 minutes each week, on the same day and at the same time. Sessions are conducted virtually.

Through conversation, we identify what’s getting in the way and how to work with your strengths and your brain to create more ease at home.

You bring the focus each week, and I help you explore it and understand what’s happening and what might help. That could be a problem area, a system that isn’t working, too much clutter, or something else entirely.

Sessions are conversation-based. The real change happens when you take what comes out of our sessions and apply it between meetings.

Each session begins by looking at what worked, what didn’t, and what you’re learning, so you can edit and build on that.

Most organizing services focus on the space, not the person. They typically involve hands-on work—sorting, decluttering, and setting up systems for you—but don’t always address the underlying patterns that cause the problems in the first place.

My work is focused on sustainability.

I could organize your home for you—I’ve done that for many people—but I won’t. I believe you’re capable of solving your own problems with the right support and self-knowledge.

The Unlocking Home program helps you identify what you want to change, understand what gets in the way, and develop approaches that work in your real life. The experiments you try between sessions are informed by both my experience working with clients and your own insight.

By focusing on how you operate—and what you need to be successful—the space becomes easier to manage.

If you’re not ready to talk—a lot—we’re not a great fit.

The heart of my work is building your self-awareness about what works for you, what doesn’t, and what you need to be successful. We can only discover that through curious conversation in the context of your specific organizing challenges.

At times, it may make sense for you to get into your space, handle items, and make decisions during or between sessions. But Unlocking Home is not about organizing your home for you.

You’ll take what comes out of our sessions and apply it between meetings. That’s where the organizing happens.

So yes, we will mostly be talking—and you’ll be organizing based on what we discuss.

That’s part of what we work on.

You’re not expected to execute perfectly between sessions. The goal is to understand what’s getting in the way and develop approaches that actually work for you.

What happens between sessions—whether something worked or didn’t—becomes useful information. We use that to adjust and build something more sustainable over time.

The expectation is not perfection. The expectation is engagement.

This is an active, participatory process.

You’ll need to:

• show up consistently

• engage in conversation

• and apply what we discuss between sessions

The structure supports you, but the change happens through your involvement. This work is most effective for people who are willing to stay engaged even when it’s not easy.

No.

I’m a Certified Professional Organizer®, which means I have significant training and well over a thousand hours organizing people’s homes, but Unlocking Home is not a done-for-you service.

Instead, I serve as a thought partner. I offer expertise, and I help you tap into your own thinking so you can do this for yourself. In my experience, nothing leads to lasting change more reliably than insight you arrive at on your own.

If you’re looking for someone to come in and organize your home for you, there are many professionals who specialize in that type of work.

Unlocking Home runs for eight weeks, with one session per week at a consistent day and time.

Each session is 90 minutes.

For many people, eight weeks is just the starting point. This is especially true for those working through multiple areas of the home or long-standing patterns of disorganization.

Clients often continue beyond the initial eight weeks to build on the work and maintain momentum over time.

Yes. All sessions are conducted via Zoom.

This format works extremely well for this type of work. Because our sessions are conversation-based and focused on how you think, make decisions, and follow through, there's no meaningful difference between being in the same room and being on a screen.

When it's helpful, you can show me areas of your space directly on screen, and we can look at things together as they come up in conversation.

Many clients find the convenience of virtual sessions makes it easier to show up consistently, which is one of the most important factors in making this work effective.

The total investment for the eight-week program is $1,320, paid in full before the first session.

If you choose to continue, additional sessions are booked in eight-session blocks at the same rate.

Consistency is a key part of what makes this work effective.

Meeting weekly at the same time creates structure and allows us to build on what happens between sessions instead of starting over each time. The time between sessions gives you space to apply what we discuss in real life.

This is a process. The structure supports steady progress over time.

The call is a brief conversation to understand what’s going on and determine whether this approach is a good fit.

If it is, I’ll walk you through how the program works and we can schedule your weekly time.

I want to be honest about how I approach this: the weekly cadence is a core part of what makes this work effective. Consistency builds momentum, and momentum is exactly what most ADHD people struggle to maintain. Missing sessions interrupts that.

I ask clients to treat their weekly session as a firm commitment, something they show up for even on hard weeks, because those are often the weeks where the most useful work happens. Illness and genuine emergencies are of course exceptions. But if you're looking for a flexible, drop-in arrangement, this program isn't the right fit.

That said, life happens, and I understand that. If you need reschedule, I ask for at least 24 hours notice when possible.

No.

If the program feels like a fit, we can reserve a weekly time during the call. If you’d prefer to take time to consider, you’re welcome to get back to me afterward.

If no time-slots are currently available, you can join the waitlist and I’ll reach out when a spot opens.

The first step is to book a 15-minute introductory call.
