Dr. Gray's primary research investigates sexuality as an occupation, examining how sexual expression and intimacy function as meaningful occupations that promote health and well-being across the lifespan. This specialization is reinforced by her certification through the Institute for Sex, Intimacy and Occupational Therapy. Her clinical work integrates Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT) to address occupational disruption caused by tic disorders, particularly in pediatric populations.

No scientific awards or honors are documented in the available materials. While no graduate students or research grants are explicitly mentioned, her leadership as an outpatient clinic director demonstrates significant clinical management experience that complements her academic responsibilities.
