What gear are you using? If you do your Summoner job quests you’ll be given a gearset that should be good enough for this section of the game. For healing you could also consider using Physick, and Lucid Dreaming when you need more mana.

But either way, great job! Sometimes the game can be hard or unintuitive but if you can take your time with it then you can beat anything in it.
