I'm going to recommend again that you get a trainer who will come to your house and work with you on a regular basis. It sounds like you don't have a lot of experience with fearful dogs, and you will need to learn a lot to take good care of her.

For instance, many dogs won't make eye contact: it's considered challenging. I would not try to look her in the face at all. You should also move slowly around her. Don't bend over her or try to pat her on the head. Keep your body turned away from her.
