Also it will help her if you let her approach you for the next few weeks until she really gets to know you. Try not to call her to you too much - you can teach her the reliable recall later. For now, just allow her to do the approaching and seeking you out - act like the pack leader and don't seek her out. It will empower her and make her feel she doesn't have to defer so much to you while she's exploring and coming to trust in you. That circling is fear and insecurity and she probably increases it when she's having to or wanting to get near you or other people just out of worry of what might happen during that encounter.
Keep training her and teaching her the rewards of learning and impulse control and once she begins to know what to do and then do it, senses she's accomplished some big things from your responses, she will gain much-needed confidence and along with it usually comes a calmer dog. Over time, obedience training and some challenging games where she wins treats and things can re-make a problem dog into a much calmer, happier and settled dog.
