I will guess that it means that she went out of her way to help me (literally she put herself into expenses in order to help me).

Since "frais" means "expenses " that is my guess.

I think the opposite might be to do someone a favour when it is no skin off your nose.

That's correct Georges. Se mettre en frais is To do something at one's own expense
