Meet Thayer
Author / Speaker / Wealth Counselor
Thayer’s understanding of the complex issues stemming from financial abundance is personal. A child of wealth herself, she experienced the privilege and opportunities, as well as the isolation and confusion, often associated with wealth. Her own journey to purpose and fulfillment led to a desire to help others who struggle with similar issues.
A pioneer in the field of wealth counseling and a licensed, practicing psychotherapist, Thayer has been helping families around the world overcome emotional obstacles and live in harmony with wealth since 1990.
