LESS SURFACE SESSIONS
QUEER MENTORING FOR LGBTQIA+ WOMEN
(including those who are confused or unsure)
Less Surface Level was started because I know how important connection and belonging is, and I wanted to create a space where voices shared could allow people to feel less alone. Our episodes are honest, human conversations; the kind that make us feel seen, messy, and whole. These mentoring sessions are an extension of that: a space for you to explore your queerness, identity, and relationships with a trusted person. In doing this, I'll also support you to connect to a community that you feel comfortable around and a sense of belonging with.

What is this space?
This is a reflective and therapeutic mentoring space for queer women designed to help you deepen your connection with yourself and your identity.
It’s not about fixing or defining; it’s about growing into your truth with curiosity and compassion.
Together, we explore:
-
Coming into your queer identity with confidence and self-trust
-
Building belonging and community
-
Navigating relationships, dating, and communication
-
Understanding your emotional landscape
-
Integrating queerness into daily life, work, and purpose
Who is this for?
These sessions are for anyone who is:
-
Exploring or questioning their queer identity
-
Reconnecting with themselves after change, burnout, or heartbreak
-
Seeking guidance from someone who understands queerness and mental health firsthand

Ready to step into their next chapter of authenticity and self-acceptance
You don’t have to have it all worked out. It's about exploring what’s true for you.
