Maybe you’re here because…

Motherhood feels harder than you expected.

Anxiety has become exhausting, even when everything looks "fine."

You're carrying the weight of birth trauma or pregnancy loss.

You've spent so long taking care of everyone else that you've lost touch with yourself.

You're navigating a major life transition and aren't sure who you are anymore.

You simply want to feel more like yourself again.

You don’t have to wait until you’re “falling apart” to deserve support.

Becoming a parent can be one of the most meaningful transitions in life and also totally chaotic, overwhelming, messy, destabilizing… the list goes on.

Maybe you’re struggling with anxiety that won’t quiet down. Maybe you’re replaying your birth experience, carrying grief from a loss, or wondering why you don’t feel like yourself anymore. Maybe you’re feeling quick to anger, always near tears, or that you love your child deeply yet still find yourself thinking, “Why is this so much harder than I expected?”

(You’re allowed to feel all of it.)

I’m Rachel Snarch, a Registered Clinical Counsellor specializing in perinatal and postpartum mental health, anxiety, trauma, and the many identity shifts that come with becoming a parent.

My approach is warm, compassionate, and practical. We’ll make space for what you’ve been carrying while also finding ways to help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself again.

You shouldn’t have to navigate the hardest parts of this season alone, or wait until you’re completely depleted before asking for support.

How I can Support You

Life has a way of bringing us moments we never expected, becoming a parent, navigating loss, experiencing trauma, or realizing that the ways we’ve always coped are no longer working. Therapy can be a space to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and feel more connected to yourself again.

  • The transition into parenthood can be beautiful, overwhelming, and complicated—all at the same time. You may be struggling with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, guilt, feeling disconnected from yourself, or wondering why this season feels harder than you expected.

    I support parents navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and the early years of parenthood with compassion and without judgment. Together, we can make sense of your experiences, quiet the pressure to “do it all,” and help you reconnect with yourself in this new chapter.

  • Sometimes the experiences that shape us most are the ones we never expected to happen. A difficult birth, fertility struggles, pregnancy loss, or a medical experience can leave you carrying emotions that are hard to process.

    Therapy can provide a safe space to explore what happened, work through painful memories, and begin healing in a way that honours your experience.

  • Maybe your mind feels like it never slows down. Maybe you’re constantly anticipating what could go wrong, trying to keep everyone else okay, or feeling exhausted from holding everything together.

    I help clients understand the roots of their anxiety, develop tools to feel more grounded, and build a kinder relationship with themselves. You don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable to reach out for support.

  • Life transitions have a way of changing how we see ourselves. Parenthood, relationships, career changes, trauma, and major life shifts can leave you wondering, “Who am I now?”

    Therapy can be a place to explore your story, rebuild trust in yourself, and create a life that feels more aligned with who you are—not just who you feel you’re expected to be.

You don’t have to figure out the next step alone.

We can begin with a free 15-minute consultation and see whether working together feels like a good fit.
