When anxiety becomes your default setting
You might look like you’re holding it together, capable, responsible, and reliable. But inside, your body feels wired and tense, your mind never fully quiets, and rest doesn’t feel restorative.
Even when nothing is “wrong,” you feel on edge.
Even when you slow down, your thoughts speed up.
Even when you succeed, it doesn’t quite feel like enough.
Anxiety doesn’t just live in your thoughts. It shows up in your body: tight chest, shallow breathing, clenched jaw, constant fatigue, difficulty being present with the people you care about. Over time, staying in this state can feel normal…even though it’s exhausting.
If you’ve tried talking yourself out of anxiety, pushing through it, or managing it on your own. You’re not failing, your nervous system is just asking for a different kind of support.
This is where therapy can help — not by fixing you, but by helping your body feel safe enough to slow down.
Hi, I’m Maya (Gengarelli) Ribot, LICSW
I work with capable, high-functioning adults whose anxiety doesn’t look like panic attacks but like constant tension, overthinking, and never fully shutting off. You’re responsible, reliable, and outwardly successful, yet internally you feel stretched thin, keyed up, or exhausted by your own mind.
My work focuses on helping you interrupt the anxiety patterns that keep your nervous system stuck in overdrive using a practical blend of somatic therapy and cognitive behavioral tools. This isn’t about “just relaxing” or positive thinking. It’s about understanding how anxiety shows up in your body and your habits, and learning how to respond differently in real time.
In sessions, we work on things like:
Calming the physical stress response that keeps you wired and alert
Reducing mental spirals and the pressure to constantly stay ahead
Learning how to slow down without guilt or losing your sense of drive
Creating boundaries and routines that actually feel sustainable
The goal isn’t to change who you are, it’s to help you feel steadier, more present, and less consumed by anxiety as you move through your day.
You deserve more than just getting through the week
If you find yourself caught in that anxious cycle of overdoing, overthinking, and overworking, you’re not alone. So many high functioning adults find themselves here: successful on paper but struggling to feel calm or connected inside.
Therapy offers a way to slow down without falling apart, to rest without guilt, and to succeed without constant pressure. You don’t have to keep doing this alone.
Anxiety therapy can help you find a steadier rhythm again. Reach out today to schedule a free consultation and take your first step toward feeling grounded, present, and calm.
