Janelle Dawsey, LMFT, speaking on the Relationship Life Cycle™ Framework

About Janelle Dawsey

Janelle Dawsey is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, author, certified matchmaker, and the creator of the Relationship Life Cycle™ Framework. After years of clinical practice — sitting with couples, individuals, and families navigating some of the most complex moments of their relational lives — she recognized a pattern that kept appearing: relationships weren't failing because people were bad at relationships. They were failing because no one had ever given them a developmental map.

That recognition became the Relationship Life Cycle™.

Janelle speaks from a place of clinical depth and genuine warmth. Her sessions don't feel like lectures. They feel like someone finally putting language to something audiences already knew was true — but had never heard said out loud.
