Lelia, go for it. Don't hesitate.
I started working with a pianist a few months back and it has done more for my playing than anything I've ever done except one-on-one lessons, which I can't afford right now, and I'd rate its influence as just about equal. (We also work with a flautist on some pieces from Michael Webster's transcription of Bizet's Jeux d'Enfants.)
Our first (home venue) public performance is this Sunday, and I'm looking forward to it, even though I, too, tend to have a bit of stage fright.
BTW, just judging from your posts, I suspect you're a much better/more experienced player than I am, so don't worry about your skill level. You'll likely find that she enjoys your playing a lot more than you expected.
