Oh boy the alone at night fun. I raised my pups from birth, which makes it easier. Do you plan on having her sleep in a crate in your room or in another room? I set a crate up in the corner of my bedroom. I would put my pup in the crate with a small treat. He would sometimes whine for a few minutes, but I would completely ignore him. He would quit pretty quickly. If he whined during the night he was let out to go potty but went right back in the crate when we came in. Same concept would work if you leave her in another room, she just might be more persistant about whining because she can't see you.
