You could also just ask her what she thinks about transference and dependent on what she says, you could tell her that you think you may have some maternal transference going on. Simply starting like that could open up a whole really good discussion, and it'll give you an idea of where she is with the whole issue of transference in general before you 'put yourself out there.'
