My work is driven by a simple question:

Why is change so hard?

The answer to that question, however, is anything but simple.

Drawing on systems psychodynamics, my work focuses on how change evokes unconscious defensive responses at the individual, group, and organizational levels, ultimately manifesting as what many characterize as resistance to change.

I’m a qualitative field researcher with a particular interest in organizations central to the functioning of society:

  • Prisons

  • Law Enforcement

  • Health Care

  • Education

  • Military
