I am the founder of Teen Moms Anonymous-- a non-profit, 12-step support group and mentorship program for any women who experienced a teen pregnancy (whether she gave birth and/or had an abortion) and is consumed with toxic shame--feeling that you are not good enough.
Our mission is to provide participants with the information, resources, and opportunities they need to heal; become more confident, skilled women and mothers; and break the multigenerational cycle of toxic shame and teenage pregnancy affecting their children.
Established in 2020 and serving the Greenville/Spartanburg area of South Carolina, we offer weekly in-person support groups.
For the safety and consideration of the young women we serve, we do not offer virtual/online classes. We do not do interviews. Teen Moms Anonymous supports itself.
Driven by my extensive research and professional expertise, I recognized the profound emotional wounds that many women who experienced a teen pregnancy carry with them. I understood that so many are consumed with toxic shame, and it is destroying their lives. Understanding the urgent need for healing, I was inspired to create a supportive and nurturing environment where women could find solace and strength.
I am deeply committed to supporting others. The daughter of a teenage mother, I was caught in the cycle of toxic shame and teen pregnancy. My story is one of breaking the cycle of teen pregnancy and healing my toxic shame—a journey I now help women embark on through Teen Moms Anonymous.
Drawing on my personal experience, I founded Teen Moms Anonymous as a Christ-centered organization. I know that to heal from our toxic shame and find our way back to ourselves and each other, we have to restore our relationship with God--our source and creator.
