Professional Interests
Dr. Connolly has experience in evaluation and treatment of anxiety, depression, psychosis, autistic spectrum disorders, traumatic brain injury and psychiatric impact of medical disorders such as chronic illness and chronic pain. She enjoys working with college students because she is able to contribute to preventing and limiting the negative impact of mental health issues by intervening in a critical period of a person's life. She believes seeing a psychiatrist should be a positive experience and strives to help students feel comfortable and accepted and safe when they meet with her.
Personal Interests
Dr. Connolly could absolutely survive post-apocalypse, not because of physical ability, but because she has skills that would be useful. She's an expert seamstress and can construct or mend nearly any garment. She can cook anything and has an encyclopedic knowledge of small-scale food preparation, preservation, and production. She is able to repair small engines and electrical devices and can start a fire under almost any conditions. Pre-apocalypse, she spends time with my dogs and constructing lego, especially the space sets.
