Feeling Like You’re Never Doing Enough
Therapy in CA for perfectionists, over-thinkers, and women who hold themselves to impossible standards.
It’s Exhausting Always Chasing “Good Enough”
You wake up already tired, rushing to get your family out the door—coffee in hand, mind already spinning. Sleep wasn’t easy last night. Your thoughts were racing, replaying moments from the day, wondering if you said the right thing, if you got enough done, if you’re falling behind.
You’re trying to hold it all—because you have to. And because part of you hopes that if you just keep going, that inner voice might quiet down. The one that whispers, “You’re not doing enough. You should be better. You’re failing.”
But no matter how much you do, it never really feels like it’s enough. Things pile up. You keep pushing. And still, there’s that sense of not measuring up. So when something goes wrong—or someone’s disappointed—it hits deeper than it should. You start to question everything: Am I a good enough parent? Partner? Friend? Professional?
It’s exhausting to keep proving yourself over and over again. And beneath the pressure is a quiet hope: I just want to feel like I’m not falling short.
Therapy can help you step out of the guilt, overthinking, and self-doubt—and into a more grounded, confident version of you.
You’re carrying a quiet pressure that never lets up.
You hold yourself to high standards—always pushing to do better, be better, hold it all together.
You try to be thoughtful. Reliable. Good.
But inside, you’re constantly questioning:
Am I doing enough? Am I good enough? Did I mess it all up?
→
You might…
Replay conversations over and over, worried you said the wrong thing
Feel responsible for how others feel—even when it’s not yours to carry
Hold back your own needs to avoid being seen as selfish or “too much”
Feel like if you’re not constantly productive, you’re falling behind
Struggle to rest, even when you’re completely exhausted
→
And when something goes wrong—when someone’s disappointed, or a mistake happens—it hits hard.
You spiral. You overthink. You feel like you’re falling short—again.
You Don’t Have to Prove You Belong
Therapy is a place where you don’t have to perform or hold it all together.
You get to bring your full self—messy thoughts, hard feelings, second-guessing and all.
And instead of being told to “just let it go,” we’ll slow down and get curious about where all that pressure comes from.
In our work together, we’ll gently explore the parts of you that:
Push to do more and be better, even when you’re already exhausted
Worry that if you make one mistake, people will see you differently
Struggle to rest, say no, or ask for help—even when you desperately need it
Feel like your value depends on how much you give or how well you perform
Using a gentle, supportive approach called Internal Family Systems (IFS), I’ll help you get to know the parts of you that are carrying all this pressure.
Some parts may want the overthinking to stop.
Others might be tired of always pushing.
We’ll take it one step at a time—helping those parts feel less alone, and helping you feel more at ease.
This work isn’t about doing more.
It’s about finally having a space where you don’t have to prove anything.
You Don’t Have To Keep Proving—You Get To Start Living.
Therapy can help you…
Feel more grounded in relationships and decisions
Say no without spiraling into guilt
Rest without feeling like you’ve failed
Create space for your own needs—without apology
You don’t have to earn rest. You don’t have to earn care. You deserve a life where you’re seen for who you are—not just for what you do for others.
If this page resonated with you, trust that instinct.
You don’t have to keep pushing through on your own.
Let’s talk about what support could look like—no pressure, just a starting point.
