[El Cuchillo]

you're in your head because you're not centered in the moment. take a moment to feel your feet touching the ground - or touching your sox, which are touching your shoes, etc.

Listen. See.

Spend time listening to her, her voice, vocal patterns.

See her body language, etc.

You can do all of this before the approach.

One of the best acting teachers I ever had told me to touch something solid just before walking on to stage and to really feel it - texture, temperature, look at its color, markings etc. Brings you into the moment and you're ready.
