My girlfriend just moved in with me and she's so scared of my dog. I have a beautiful german shepherd girl who gets a bit aggressive when there are other people around. My dog barks a lot whenever she's unfamiliar with people. Since my gf lived far away, we didn't really hang out much in my house and so, this is the first time my gf will be around my dog and vice versa. My gf did mention at a social romance tour we attended that she is scared of dogs but I didn't think much about this because I didn't know the extent of her fear. I didn't know she was THAT scared to the point that she won't go out of the room since she fears that my dog will follow her around the house. She screams when my dog gets too close to her and she almost collapses whenever my dog tries to jump on her (my dog is very playful). How do I make my gf comfortable with my dog? Who should I call for help regarding problems like these? Thanks so much.

First, before your GF comes around, have a conversation with her to find out why she fears dogs so much? (Must be some underlying issues somewhere that caused this.) Maybe suggest she get some kind of counseling regarding this fear. Help her find some free health service.
But if that's something she don't want or can't afford, then keep your dog lock in another room with food, water, toys, etc; until her visit end. Or slowly, little by little, get your GF adjusted to your dog; for a short period each time. Take baby steps approaching the situation!
