Hello, I'm Joyce!
I am a registered Speech-Language Pathologist in Alberta.
I was born and raised in Calgary. I went to University in Edmonton, where I received my MSc. Speech-Language Pathology from the University of Alberta.
I love being a Speech-Language Pathologist because I am passionate about helping children and adults feel confident — every person deserves to be heard.
I have experience working with a wide variety of populations from children to adults. I have worked in many different settings such as early childhood services, outpatient clinics and hospitals. In addition to English, I am fluent in Cantonese and conversational in Mandarin.
In addition to being a Speech-Language Pathologist, I also have an Associate Diploma (ARCT) in Speech Arts and Drama from the Royal Conservatory of Music. I love to embed knowledge from different facets of my education to deliver functional, yet engaging therapy activities for my clients.
Feel free to contact me at BrightVoicesYYC@gmail.com. I look forward to connecting with you!

Client Feedback
[Client] had so much fun in your sessions! He would always ask when sessions with Ms. Joyce would be. I am so happy to see [Client] feeling more confident and comfortable with communicating with us.

Joyce had a way to push [Client] hard during sessions, but also make it fun and positive.
— Wife of client with Apraxia of Speech
Thanks for your work with us, Joyce! You made [Client] feel comfortable enough to speak freely and even do exercises in front of you which I was honestly pretty surprised by. He usually clams right up in front of strangers and people he's not familiar with.

Before we started working with Joyce, my daughter was only speaking in 1 to 2 word sentences. After working with Joyce for a few months, she is now speaking in 3 to 4 word sentence. She has also been using a lot of new words and vocabulary!
