my advice is to tell her what you are thinking and what you are feeling. you don't need to give it the label "transference" - just tell her what's on your mind. what you're feeling can't be correct or incorrect, it is just what it is. So tell her that she has become more important to you and you want to discuss what that means / how it makes you feel etc. Whether it is "actually transference" or not so important, I don't think - leave the theory to her. But I would be very surprised if this would result in a negative reaction. I really hope it goes well for you.
