She has provided therapy in a variety of settings, including college counseling centers and private practices. Dr. Patton offers therapy to adolescents, young adults and adults navigating life transitions, relational challenges, identity concerns, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, OCD, and trauma. She continues to have a strong interest and passion for working with college students (including non-traditional students) and young adults, recognizing this stage of life as a uniquely formative period marked by significant transitions and identity development.

Dr. Patton primarily works from a psychodynamic and relational approach to treatment, helping clients develop greater insight into the patterns, relationships, and experiences that shape their lives to improve coping and well-being.
