You need to cut it back in the spring. Cut it to 4" or so--paying attention to cut above the node.
Get rid of the tall stems--but keep the top ones and put them in a fresh pot to root.

The old one will grow back--and the new cuttings will give you a nice plant.
I have been doing this for about 25 years--same plant. Every spring--I cut it back and then it grows beautiful.

Look here....This was cut back to the nubs this spring. Be brave! Just do it!!!
This picture is from June. The plant is now at least a foot taller.
