It is perfectly normal for her to be like this as you are the only constant in her life now that she is in the new environment, she is looking to you to behave normally and reasure her that there is nothing wrong.
There are no hard and fast rules as to how long it will take her to adjust to the change, each cat is different.
Just behave as if you've always been there and treat her the same as always, she will settle down in time.

Good advice from Elaine, most cats are confused when in a new environment ....it's strange for you, just imagine what it must be like for a cat.

Give her time to settle and try not to let her pick up on your worrying.......if she sees you relaxed she will begin to relax too.

Hang in there; it will take her a while to adjust, but she will. As above, stay calm and relaxed; she'll pick up on it.
