Also, since you said she doesn't ever like to have much attention drawn to her it could be she's a person like me, one of those extreme introverts. I know the last thing I want is people paying any attention to the drama in my life. Something that goes with this is a general lack of friendships. Not that I don't like people or I'm an unfriendly person, I just don't feel the need to have other people around me all the time and so I don't. At any given moment I have maybe one or two people in my life I would classify as 'friend', real friends, people I would talk to about anything at all.
I could be that she thinks you are one of those people she can talk to about anything. To echo Bill's statement, she trusts you and thinks you're a good person to talk to about her problems. The best thing you can do is listen, try not to be judgmental and just see if there is any way to help. Make sure you're ready for it though, a friendship like this one is something with some serious emotional involvement and if that's where she wants to go with it there are going to be times it's going to take a heavy toll on you as well. Like Craftsman said make sure you take care of yourself too.
