You'll get there. You've gotten some good advice. Don't give up and please don't think you've chosen the wrong puppy. Years from now you're going to say you couldn't live without her and tell people how perfect she is. Yorkies are both independent and stubborn. That's just yorkies for you. Training, training, training. Just don't break the spirit. The other suggestion I have for you is to make sure she receives huge amounts of exercise - walks when you can. Long one's. A tired yorkie is a good yorkie and won't be as destructive. They have energy to burn and if you don't help her burn that energy in a positive way, then she's going to find ways to burn that energy and that is where the destructive behavior comes from.
