If you've ever felt like you're not measuring up — not successful enough, not a good enough parent, partner, or person — you're not alone.

These thoughts often stem from old patterns, internalized messages, and unrealistic expectations.

You don't need to earn your worthiness by being more or accomplishing more.

Reach out for support. Therapy can help:
🧠 Explore where self-doubt and guilt come from
🛠 Tools to calm your inner critic
💛 Reconnect to your value outside of achievement or appearance
🌿 Build self-compassion and a more honest, kinder inner voice

Life stages and transitions can bring out some of our helpful, unhelpful, and protective parts.

Anna has really completed advanced training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, which helps to unpack and map the relationships between our parts and the ones that pop up in difficulty.

If your critical part and productive part align with anxiety we can often feel stressed, exhausted, overworked, overwhelmed, or burnt out.
