In my own experience, intimacy followed disclosure on my part. If you find that you have been completely open with her, yet she still feels distant and clinical. And if you examine yourself closely and make sure that you're not just thinking she's distant and clinical when really she's not, then you might want to think again about your relationship. I'm not sure it's possible to work through fears of rejection with someone incapable of giving you the opposite of rejection, acceptance. And not all therapists are capable of that...
