This is very normal rabbit behavior. I suggest you try to give her plenty of things that she is allowed to chew on like woven hay structures, wood blocks, etc.
This website has a lot of options:

As for the places she has already chewed, you can try to spray Bitter Apple on those areas. Sometimes it deters them, sometimes not. Rabbits really are meant to be outdoors.
