Nala is still a puppy and needs some training. Try replacing you with a toy. So if she bites you say no and give her something to chew on. Also work on sit and stay so she starts to understand basic commands. At pet store they sell bitter apply spray you can try on the furniture to help with chewing. Always remember exercise too.
