Olivia, a therapist who behaves as you describe is not behaving ethically or professionally. (Or compassionately, for that matter.)
So, try to get yourself in a calmer place. You did nothing wrong. It was her job to help you, and if she felt her skills were not strong enough to help you, then she has an obligation to find you stronger, more capable therapists who can. Did she give you any referrals?
It really is a bad therapist who says "I can't help this patient and it's the patient's fault." That's just irresponsible.
So, try not to be too upset (although I know this feels so horrible), and understand that it's her, not you. And when you feel ready, you should know that not all therapists behave that way, and you can look for a decent one.
Take care,
