She has also completed EMDR training and has extensive experience in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level 3). She approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective and tailors her methods to each client, recognizing that everyone responds differently to various modalities.

In the first appointment, she works with clients to establish therapy goals, reviewing them regularly to track progress and adjust as needed. She believes that even small steps are meaningful in helping clients refine coping strategies and achieve lasting change. Ray is fluent in both French and English and can provide counselling in either language.
