ABOUT US
Meet Matt & Carly
We’re Matt and Carly — a husband and wife team with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families repair relationship wounds, recover from depression and anxiety struggles and free themselves from the painful residue of trauma.
As relationship specialists, we thrive on seeing our clients repair their bonds, that once felt irretrievable, and feel a greater life fulfillment that comes when their relationships are strong and healthy.
Together, we lead a compassionate, skilled team of expert Relationship Counsellors and Family Therapists online and in Vancouver, BC, who are deeply committed to creating an inclusive and affirming space for all to find great joy and wellbeing.

Experienced therapists. Compassionate care. Relationships that thrive.
We recognize that each person and relationship is shaped by unique experiences related to gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, nationality, cultural background, religion or spirituality, socioeconomic status, age, ability, relationship structure, and language. Our approach honours these complexities with cultural competence and respect, ensuring that every client feels seen, valued, and understood.
​
Grounded in the science of attachment and trauma recovery, our team helps clients heal from trauma, repair relationship ruptures, and rebuild the closeness that may feel out of reach. We’re saddened by how many couples and families feel hopeless about their challenges, and by the high rates of separation and divorce that often result. We want you to know: with thoughtful care, clear guidance, and skilled support, relationships can heal — no matter your background or story.
​
Couples and family counselling is our passion and expertise. When you choose Vida Relationships, you can trust that your healing journey is in capable, compassionate hands that honour your whole identity and lived experience.
