He closes distance instantly, and your cage isn't enough to offset your kit's total lack of mobility. Play this lane to stack minion executes without ever exposing yourself, and refuse any close-range trade once he hits his mobility spike. Your only real window is before he gets his ultimate: push to bank a power lead, then play fully passive for the rest of the game.

Keep Event Horizon in permanent reserve instead of using it for poke, it's your only way to trap her or get out.
