Considering you need insanely good reflexes to avoid pokes on you while under the turret, keep an eye out for tower-dives, and farm minions efficiently while the turret is shooting at them, and that her "core" 3 items puts her gold income required somewhere in the 8-9k range, you'd wanna hope she's good at farming under towers. Just keep her sealed up under it long enough for your jungler to come and tower-dive her (if she's at even 50% health and is stuck farming under turret, you "should" be able to kill her even through her stun, especially if you bait it without actually attacking her yet), and rinse and repeat.

Yeah, it's not a guaranteed counter to her. But nothing in this game is, so you make best with what you've got, and delay/distract her enough to stall out her lategame build for as long as you can.
