There is no rapid solution here i am afraid, but time and patience spent socializing her will eventually help. Puppy socialization classes and walking regularly in areas which are busy but where she will not feel pressured by direct contact such as parks can help. Take treats to help distract her and consider a thundershirt and calming supplements such as kalm aid to help with anxiety
