A calmer, more functional home starts here.
For 18 years, reSPACEd has helped Portland-area families create homes that feel peaceful, supportive, and easy to live in. We specialize in warm, judgment-free organizing for people with ADHD and for families with children at home. We believe your home should work with your brain, not against it.
Whether you’re overwhelmed by toys, drowning in clothes, stuck in a tricky room layout, or living in an older house with almost no storage, we’ve seen it all. After nearly two decades in thousands of Portland homes, we stay calm, unflappable, and focused, even when you feel like you’ve “tried everything” and nothing has stuck. Getting to the root of organizing challenges is our specialty.
What Makes reSPACEd Different
We work one-on-one, never a whirlwind team takeover.
Many organizing companies send in a big team for an 8-hour blitz, leaving you wondering where your scissors went or how your pantry ended up sorted into categories you don’t understand. We don’t do that. At reSPACEd, you work directly with one organizer in a coaching-style partnership. She teaches you the skills, help you make decisions, and build systems you can maintain long after she leaves.
We don’t make you spend a lot of $ on new containers.
Your home doesn’t need more stuff, it needs better systems. We keep new purchases to a minimum and reuse what you already have whenever possible. This saves money, reduces overwhelm, is faster to implement, and is eco-friendly.
We’re experts in tricky spaces.
Odd room layouts? Tiny closets? Old Portland homes with no storage? We’ve worked in thousands of them. We know how to make challenging spaces functional, beautiful, and easier to maintain.
We understand ADHD deeply.
ADHD brains need organizing systems that are simple, visible, and low-friction. We bring a whole toolbox of strategies to make your project go faster while feeling less exhausting. Our methods are designed to reduce decision fatigue, minimize overwhelm, and help you stay engaged without burning out.
We’re trusted by mental health professionals across the city.
Therapists regularly refer their clients to reSPACEd because they know our approach is gentle, supportive, and effective. We understand how organizing intersects with mental health, executive function, and family dynamics.

Organizing That Feels good, Not OVerwhelming
Our goal is simple: help you create a home that supports your life, your routines, and your well-being. We bring patience, creativity, and a coaching mindset to every project, whether we’re decluttering toys, setting up a home office, reorganizing a kitchen, or helping your family reset a chaotic space.
You don’t have to tackle this alone. We’re here to guide you, encourage you, and help you build systems that finally stick.
