Care Philosophy
My approach to care is built on collaboration and compassion. I find it important to understand the psychological, social, and medical factors impacting a person’s quality of life and well-being. The next step is working together to identify goals for care and a course of treatment. My hope is for the individuals I work with to develop insight, feel educated, and learn a new set of coping skills through a brief, evidence-based psychotherapy model.

She is excellent!

Dr. Kothari is absolutely incredible. She is very easy to talk with, and she listens to my problems and adjusts her strategy accordingly. She is relentless (in a good way) in her pursuit to get me better sleep and even checks up on me occasionally between appointments to see how I'm doing and provide updates. Though I still have a ways to go, my sleep has greatly improved in the mean time.
