Chaise is passionate in working with youth and adults, and their families, who find themselves at these crossroads. Chaise works directly with Dr. Tutty and as a team they engage in forensic interviews, testing (cognitive, personality, risk analysis), collateral interviews, and forensic reporting to the courts that often inform best interest recommendations. Chaise is a member of the Association and Family Conciliation Courts (AFCC) and adheres to those evidence based interview and evaluation guidelines. When not in the office, Chaise enjoys riding her horses and hiking.
