About Me

Hello, my name is Kathy Brown and welcome to my “about me” page. I hope to give you as much information as possible and that this page will serve as an introduction to who I am, my experience and qualifications.

I specialize in anxiety, relationships, and issues such as grief, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and more.
