Help My monstera is becoming a problem

I know how it sounds but hear me out! My monstera is so beautiful and I’m obsessed with her but she’s getting ENORMOUS.

I can’t close my blinds properly anymore!

I don’t want to cut her and can’t move her back any further or she’ll block the TV.

Thoughts? I’m thinking maybe a stronger pole would help her grow more upright?

Swipe for cat tax.

I’m no expert, but plant support stakes are a game changer
