Ms. Parker has developed a practice where her clients report there being an "approachable and safe space often injected with humor" to discuss sensitive and personal subjects.  She has developed a special interest in helping clients work through issues regarding their interpersonal relationships, sexual development, and faith or spiritual journeys.  She particularly enjoys helping those wanting to navigate their religious cultures in healthy ways - whether they desire to stay within their faith communities or leave all together.  She honors all religious paradigms and choices.
