Do you only annoy her sometimes? Or all the time?
If it's only sometimes, I'd see it as a learning experience. My therapist readily admits to being "frustrated" with me sometimes. But he has also admitted that "frustrated" is his euphemism for angry. He also reminds me that while he gets angry with me sometimes, it doesn't ruin our relationship. And he's generally over being angry by the next session. That not only doesn't the expression of anger ruin a relationship, but that sometimes it makes it stronger.
Besides, I don't know about you, but I do know that *I* am sometimes annoying, and being annoyed is a rather natural reaction. His regard for me as a person might be positive, but that doesn't mean he finds my actions universally pleasing.
