This will work, but its up to you..
Starting now, don't force her to do anything. When you want her out of the cage, just leave her door open, she will come out alone. You need to socialize with her, every time you see her moving around call her name and say hello & what r u doing. Try leaving her treats in the cage and wen you see her eating them, next time try handing her the treats from your hand.

Okay, this is how I trained Chiquita, Rascal and my two teils Punky and Princess.
#1. Keep your hand in the cage as often as possible so he gets used to it.
#2. Offer treats until he takes it out of your hand –do not give him the treat no matter how hard it is until he takes it out of your hand, keep you hand still, no fast jerky movements.
This is so he gets accustomed to your hands, birds seem to be afraid of hands.
To get him to come out let him come out on his own. Once you get him to step up you can just put him back in the cage yourself. But when he is out the first time to get him to go home say HOME and put a treat or favorite snack in there cage and see if that works. Now all I have to do with Chiquita is say home and she goes home.
Eventually you will figure out a routine that works for you. Never grab him or force him to come out or they will be scared and not want to come out.
Go up to the cage and talk to him softly. No fast movements and I don’t think you should grab him, this will make her afraid of you. Go by what she wants for now. He will sleep a lot because the stress of the move is hard on birds. So don’t be alarmed if she is sleeping a lot.
Be patient, don’t give up and keep at it. It’s a LONG LONG process.
She will learn to trust you on her terms.
