Ask her what you can do to make her feel more comfortable. Sometimes they can bring something from home that might help her adjust.

since she is 20 years old she is not a girl... she is a woman.. treat her like one... tell her you expect her to manage her disorder at work for herself.
You are her employer not her parent. Let her know clearlly what is expected in the workplace.
Do make some allowances for her so that she can manage her own disability such as understanding that she may need to contact family or friens through the day or need some familiar activity and some personal belongings in her work day... but dont compromise yourself away..
If she has a case manager who is helping her settle into her workplace then talk openly with them about what you expect and need from an employee and what you can offer too.

Read Bowlby and his ideas on attachment, although I doubt if you can help a grown woman who suffers from separation anxiety. If she considers it to be a problem, she can seek the help she needs. For yourself, just accept her as she is while not allowing her behavior to disrupt your life.
