​Sheila Angha
MS, LSW, Certified in EMDR
Specialties: Adults-EMDR, Racial, Generational and Cultural Trauma, PTSD, C-PTSD, ADHD, Mood disorders, Depression and Anxiety, Perinatal and Postpartum Depression, Grief and loss
Welcome and thank you for being here. I am a 2nd generation, mixed-race licensed social worker, and yoga instructor. I graduated with a MSW from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee in 2013 and have worked with a variety of marginalized populations in clinics, hospitals, schools, homes and group homes. I’ve completed over 500 hours of training in hatha yoga, trauma-informed yoga, yoga philosophy + social justice.
​
My therapeutic focus is to build a foundational framework to examine your multifaceted and complex life experiences through a trauma-informed lens. My goal is to offer support and resources to recognize and address how emotions effect the mind-body.
Carrying the weight of painful life experiences along with intersecting identities can feel heavy, isolating and overwhelming. Societal and cultural expectations, oppression, family dynamics, perfectionism, and simply not having a sense of belonging can ignite painful feelings of fear, shame, self-blame, guilt, grief, anger and so on. These feelings overtly and covertly affect how we function at work, school, and in relationships with ourselves and others.
Healing is a nonlinear process, it’s an ongoing life journey that takes patience, courage and compassion. As we examine the layers of your experiences, we’ll build accessible skills tailored to your unique needs and goals to help reach your highest potential. Your feelings and lived experiences are valid, you are the expert of your life.

Samantha Miller
MSW, Certified in DBT
Specialties: Adults, Trauma, Depression,Anxiety, Life Transitions, Stress management​, Brain-Spotting, ERP, CBT, ACT
​
I'm Samantha Miller (she/her), and I am a mental health counselor dedicated to helping clients develop intentionality and resilience. I work with clients feeling weighed down by unpleasant emotions, overwhelming thoughts, and compulsive behaviors. Whether you are navigating significant life changes or trying to overcome avoidance or perfectionism to get "unstuck", I'm here to help you take meaningful steps toward a more fulfilling life.
My approach blends powerful, evidence-based tools to support your work towards your goals. I draw from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you develop practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and coping with distress, alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify your core values and make choices that empower you. We'll also cultivate mindfulness practices to help you become more present and less entangled in the swirl of daily stressors and overthinking. When helpful, I also utilize Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to build your capacity to face anxieties head-on. As a Certified Personal Medicine Coach, I'm committed to partnering with you to identify and incorporate unique daily habits that enhance your well-being.
With Brain-spotting, I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to access and process difficult emotions and experiences by using eye positioning to tap into the brain's natural healing potential. If you're ready to release what no longer serves you, I would be honored to support you on your journey.

Ellie Harrison
Office Manager
My name is Ellie Harrison. I currently have a Bachelor's degree in psychology from Chico State University and I am pursuing my Masters degree in Forensic and Legal psychology from Marymount University. I have two cats that I absolutely adore. I love to dance in my spare time. I also consider myself an at home baker because I enjoy it very much, and I love to share my baked goods with others. This journey called life is a very interesting one, and I believe everyone goes down a bumpy road at some point in their lives but it only makes us come out smarter and stronger on the other side.
Miriam Rivas
Office Administrater
Hi, I’m Miriam "Mia" Rivas. I’ve been in the medical field for almost 13 years as a Medical Assistant, and I’m currently working toward my Bachelor's in Healthcare Administration. My ultimate goal is to become a Nurse Practitioner. I’m excited to be working alongside Dr. Khanali and the team to help provide the best care possible for our patients.
In addition to my work and studies, I recently started a home-run bakery, so I definitely stay busy! When I’m not baking, I’m spending time with my 3-year-old daughter and my Labrador Retriever puppy. I love to experiment with new recipes and enjoy cooking as well. I’m happy to be part of the team and look forward to contributing to the practice’s success.
