About Rebecca
Rebecca received her BA in Comparative Literature from Dartmouth College, and her PhD from Columbia University. She taught and advised undergrads for 20 years before moving into college counseling.
Rebecca’s greatest strength is her dedication to her clients. She gets to know the whole student, from quirks to interests to hopes and fears, and helps students find their voice and shape their future. She loves connecting with students and watching them grow through the process.
When not working, Rebecca enjoys spending time with her kids (college junior, high school junior, and five year old), watching the latest medical drama with her husband, or curling up with a book (any book).
