I would definitely set boundaries you are comfortable with if you want to continue to see her, if you have found her to be a helpful, competant therapist otherwise. I would never be able to handle that kind of lovey-doveyness, nor have I ever experienced it in a T before. But there are so many different degrees of affection expressed between T and client that it is hard to know what is beyond an "appropriate" boundary (in some cases). Except that you weren't comfortable with it, and that is what she needs to know. Don't be afraid to express yourself and stick up for your own personal comfort level!
