I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families with a diverse background of areas of need.

Seeking mental health services can be a really difficult task for many reasons. We were referred to Rula by Kaiser Permanente. I was forwarded to a website where I could choose a therapist based on her gender, expertise, degree, and location. I feel this has been the best therapist my daughter has ever had, and she has made real progress in the past 12 months. My daughter has many challenges and still has more to go. As a mother who often loses hope, Ms. Diaz gives me hope every week. Thank you, Rula, for hiring such a highly qualified therapist and thank you to our therapist!
