I work best with clients who want a therapist who is direct and actively engaged in the process. I believe therapy should feel like a partnership, not a place you're talked at or judged. I feel strongly about the alliance feeling comfortable and natural. I'll always meet you where you're at and help you challenge patterns that may no longer be serving you.

I work well with clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, self-critical, or tired of repeating painful patterns in their lives and relationships. I often help with anxiety, depression, grief, emotional intensity, low self-worth, and relationship stress, especially when someone knows what they want to do but struggles to follow through. My style is direct, supportive, and down-to-earth, and I use CBT, DBT, REBT, and motivational interviewing to make therapy feel practical, collaborative, and genuinely helpful.

I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), and like many adults I work with, my life and career have not followed a traditional path. I earned my undergraduate degree from Princeton University and my law degree from the College of William & Mary, and spent 15 years practicing law before transitioning into mental health work because I wanted to help people in a more direct, human way. After spending time at home with my family and having close family members involved in the mental health system, I saw firsthand how meaningful and effective therapy can be. This experience led me back to school, where I earned my MSW from Simmons University. I have two years of clinical experience working at a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), where I supported adolescents and families during periods of significant emotional stress. Today, I work primarily with adults and young adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, caregiving and parenting stress, relationship challenges, and feelings of overwhelm or being stuck. I also see some adolescents. I approach therapy as a collaborative, supportive process and strive to create a nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered.

Welcome! I'm Carter (they/them), and it's wonderful to meet you. Therapy is a huge step for some people, and I appreciate your vulnerability in looking for the provider that works best for you. The beginning can be challenging, and even a little awkward as you explore your new or growing relationship to therapy and yourself. In my practice, I prioritize connection, honesty, and mutual understanding throughout our time together. I always say that I "believe my B.S." when it comes to therapy, and the importance of knowing what I'm recommending and how uncomfortable it may be! I like to focus on your values, needs, and goals within our work, and ways to find our authentic selves and relationships as we grow. Social landscapes can be especially challenging, and as a provider, I work to find ways to facilitate open and honest dialogues between you and myself, and transferring those skills to the world outside our sessions.

You are the one who holds everything together. You anticipate needs before they are spoken. You say yes when your body says no. You manage emotions in the room. You keep the peace at work, in relationships, and in your family. On the outside you may look calm, capable, and high functioning, but inside you feel exhausted, anxious, overwhelmed, and quietly resentful. Rest feels unfamiliar. Slowing down feels unsafe. No matter how much you accomplish, your mind rarely lets you fully relax. If you are an IFS manager part who learned that being helpful, perfect, agreeable, and emotionally responsible was the way to survive, you are not broken. Your nervous system adapted brilliantly to protect you, and now it is tired. The parts of you that overthink, overperform, people please, or constantly monitor others are not flaws. They are protective strategies that once helped you stay connected, accepted, and safe. My work specializes in helping people pleasers, perfectionists, caretakers, and overthinkers heal the deeper patterns underneath anxiety, burnout, and chronic self-pressure through Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. Together we create safety for the parts of you that fear conflict, rejection, failure, or disappointing others so you no longer have to live in constant survival mode. Healing is not about becoming selfish or losing your ambition. It is about finally feeling free to exist without carrying the weight of everyone else’s emotions and expectations. When your inner system no longer runs on fear and pressure, boundaries become clearer, relationships become more authentic, and your mind begins to quiet. You do not have to earn rest, love, or worthiness anymore.

Sharing stories can create some of the greatest bonds between people. In my practice as a therapist, stories have always been the foundation: they create a relationship of empathy and understanding, acceptance and change, which is able to withstand challenges over time. By telling stories, we can pick apart patterns and figure out how to break cycles that are not serving you. Whether that be with others, or yourself. I specialize in helping people who are struggling in relationships as well as with depression and anxiety that often accompany these challenges. I believe that the therapist-client connection is not only a place to learn skills, but lays a foundation to create and maintain healthy relationships.

I am also the founder of the Self-Reflective Relationship Therapy (SRRT) framework, a model designed to help partners look inward with honesty and compassion. SRRT combines structured exercises with guided reflection to increase self-awareness, empathy, and accountability—the foundation for lasting relational repair. This approach grew from years of clinical work and research into what helps couples not only resolve conflict but transform how they relate to one another. In addition to my work, I am the author of Always and Forever: Goals for a Healthy Relationship, offering couples practical tools for communication, trust, and growth. To build relationships that feels safe, balanced, and emotionally fulfilling. I specialize in couples therapy, sex, premarital counseling, affair recovery, trauma, and individuals seeking to understand their emotions or strengthen their relationship readiness. Clients often describe my style as calm, thoughtful, and engaged. I listen deeply, help clarify the emotions beneath conflict, and guide clients toward connection and repair. If you are looking for a couples therapist in Cambridge, MA, I welcome you to reach out and begin the process of rebuilding trust, deepening intimacy and finding your way back to one another.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Massachusetts rather than a city like Boston?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Massachusetts. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Massachusetts from Springfield to Cape Cod! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Massachusetts.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
