I feel like if she shared an anecdote or disclosed something that she had in common with me that it would do wonders for our connection. Or if she ever followed up on anything that I say, that would surely help. Or if she ever gave me a compliment or said something nice......I've told her all of this but nothing changes......

I can't speak for your therapist but I don't think she would her offended and readier you that you don't need to worry about her feelings. I think that by sharing what is happening for you could really deepen the work.
Does your t ever ask how you are finding your relationship or what is happening between you?
Is she a blank slate t? It's often hard to connect with them and sharing personal things helps bond us but the fact you have asked and your t has not complied suggests she is a blank slate. No wonder you are feeling disconnected because she cuts off the connection.
My t shares a lot of herself on sessions and especially in relation to our relationship and this helps with our connection.
