Counselling for Moms and Online Therapy for Women in Niagara Falls and St Catharines, Ontario, CA

 I help high-achieving moms out of burnout and into balance—where career, relationships, and a guilt-free connection with their kids can coexist.



Through compassionate, evidence-based counselling and coaching, I will guide you to break free from perfectionism, release guilt, and reconnect with your inner strength. It’s time to rediscover  joy, peace, and build a life that fills you up with happiness from the inside out.


You're here because...

You’re a mom who’s achieved so much, but lately, it feels like everything is slipping through your fingers.

You wake up already tired, rushing from one thing to the next, juggling work deadlines, school drop-offs, and trying to be everything to everyone. You’ve mastered keeping your home up and running, but inside, you’re running on empty.

Maybe you’ve caught yourself:

  • Saying “yes” to one more thing, even though your calendar is already bursting.


  • Scrolling emails while half-listening to your kids, wishing you could just be present.



  • Snapping at the people you love most because your mind is stuck in work mode, and guilt hits like a freight train.


You’ve thought, “Why can’t I just get it together?” 

But here’s the truth: You’re not failing as a mom or professional. You’re carrying too much.

You’re here because you know something has to change. You want to stop feeling pulled in every direction and start feeling at peace in your life again. And I’m here to help you do just that.


Right now, you just want to feel like you’re enough. But it feels so hard to get there.

  • You want to wake up energized, move through your day with confidence, and actually enjoy your life instead of just survive in it. 
  • You want to be present with your kids, nurture meaningful relationships, and still have time to breathe and be you.
  • Society tells you that being a great mom, partner, and professional means putting yourself last. And when you finally try to pause or take care of yourself, guilt sneaks in, whispering, “You should be doing more.”

You can feel calm, connected, and in control again—and I can show you how

  • I’m not just a counsellor: I’m a mom who’s walked the path you’re on. I know what it’s like to juggle career demands, single parenthood, and the weight of anxiety and guilt. My guidance comes from a unique blend of professional expertise and personal experience, giving me an intuitive understanding of your struggles and how to overcome them.


  • I don’t believe in surface-level advice or cookie-cutter solutions. You won’t hear me telling you to “just take a bubble bath or meditate.” Instead, I offer compassionate, evidence-based tools that fit into the reality of your busy life strategies that help you shift from overwhelmed to empowered without adding more to your to-do list.

Hello there!

I’m Sarah Hope - Therapist for high-achieving moms and women

I’m a trauma-trained, certified counsellor with over 20 years of experience helping women break free from burnout, guilt, and anxiety to reclaim their calm and confidence. I firmly believe that every mom deserves to feel empowered and deeply connected—to her kids, her career, and herself—without sacrificing her well-being in the process.


I started this journey because I know firsthand how heavy life can feel when you’re trying to do it all. As a single mom who’s juggled career success with raising two kids, I’ve walked in your shoes and found a way through.


Fun fact: I’ve helped hundreds of women rewrite their stories, and when I’m not in session, you might find me sneaking in a dance party with my daughters or baking a sweet treat. Together, we’ll create a life that feels aligned, joyful, and unapologetically you.

You deserve a life where you’re thriving in your motherhood. Let’s take that first step together.

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Sarah – whenever I have needed her assistance she is always willing to help. Sarah is a dedicated instructor who is very committed to her student's success. In my role as Education Assistant I interact daily with the student population and more than once I have been told by Sarah's students how much they value not only what she has taught them but how much they appreciate the role she has played in developing them as a career professional.
