Well, a few things come to mind. One is that T's are responsible for drawing their own boundries. If you are calling too much, etc. your T needs to tell you that it is too much and how much is appropriate. You can't read her mind and you are not expected to.
However, it might help to directly ask. You could say pretty much what you said here. That you contact her for XYZ reasons and you want to make sure that is okay w/ her b/c you really value working with her. Ask her what communication is okay b/t sessions and what is not.
Also, remember that even if your T tells you that you are calling too much, that doesn't mean that she dislikes you, doesn't want to work w/ you, etc.
Hope this helps!
Best,
EE
