My former neighbor had a little Yorkie girl who was highly excitable around other people and when outside. I agree with the suggestion for more exercise, also more outings.
Start in a less busy area so that you don't have to be worried about overwhelming her with people, other dogs, and triggers for excitement. Then work your way up to more 'traffic.' That is how I trained my boys to walk together without reacting to everything.
Anything out of the normal routine is going to be very stimulating, causing her great excitement. More exposure to things on a regular basis will reduce the excitement.
This kind of training is a lifelong process for some dogs. My boys are 7 years old and they still get out practice on some things.
