It sounds very odd to me as well. Did you use names? If not, who is she going to report? And is this actually reportable, by her?
I'd be very angry, and feel betrayed. As Jane said, she could at least point out that you were entering difficult territory. You need to have a certain level of trust to be able to talk openly with a therapist. Her involvement could have negative consequences for you. It seems she jumped into this without a lot of thought, or consultation with an attorney. If I were her, I think I'd consult an attorney before breaking confidentiality like this.
I might be being overly negative, but it's very very important for me to feel like I can trust my therapist. At the very least I need for him to be reluctant to take steps like that. At the VERY least.
