I was raised in Naples, Maine where my love of horses grew early. At the age of twelve, I was given horseback riding lessons for my birthday. It lead to me attending college in Pennsylvania where I studied equine science. Since finishing college I have worked in several programs.

I found my true calling while working with at risk youth in 2002 using horse therapy. It gave me a deep joy seeing youth working, and connecting with horses. This unique alignment allowed those youth to be aware of their actions, gain empathy, and build more healthy relationships.

Since then I have worked and volunteered at several other therapeutic programs all over the country.

In 2016 I founded Solia Farm in Apison, TN. The focus of Solia Farm is EAP and EAEM with traumatized children, and adults.

In 2019 I received my first certificate in Equine Assisted Psychotherapy from O.K. Corral Series. Since I now have 3 of the 6 certifications offered through O.K. Corral Series. I’m always updating my training, and studying the latest in EAP.

I can’t wait to come along side you in your journey to healing.
