You could try touching and manipulating her toes and nails while you hold her and watch television. Just off and on. After a few sessions of this, she should settle down some. When you do the trimming, be sure to get a helper to hold her for you. Whatever you do, do not cut too close or do anything else that would cause pain. Stay in control, but don't try to do all four feet at once. Just one foot a day for a while until the job is done. Consider buying one of the new grinders for trimming dog's nails. You can trim them a little further back with that. And, it leaves a much rounder and smoother end on the nail.

If she's that sensitive, her nails may be irritating her. Don't try to clip them, vets and groomers have equipment and techniques that can help calm the dog down. Also, to help keep her nails rounded and short, let her run around on concrete every now and then. My grandparents did it with their dog, and her nails stayed pretty well rounded.
