Hello my name is Katrina Marler.  I am the BCBA and owner of Successful Child. I oversee the clinical and administration duties of the company.  My favorite aspect of my day is being apart of the daily success’s of our kiddos and working with our amazing families. My passion and dedication to helping our community is evident in the environment I have created.  Successful Child was created out of my desire to offer an ABA company that enriches the therapeutic experiences with my belief that “children learn through play.” I am a mother to four sons, four dogs and have been married for 14 years.  I thoroughly enjoy being able to spend quality time with my family.  

Hello my name is Crystal Lawson I serve as both the Office Manager and a Behavioral Technician. I began my journey in the Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) field in November 2025 and has since developed a strong passion for supporting children and their growth. I find great fulfillment in working closely with clients and helping them reach meaningful milestones. In my dual role, I ensures the office runs smoothly while also providing compassionate, hands-on care to the families I serve. My dedication, organization, and positive approach make me a valuable part of the team. Outside of work, I am a proud mother of two, a beautiful daughter and a handsome son. I also enjoys spending time with my energetic blue heeler, Athena, and my beautiful family and friends.

Hi! My name is Jess, and I’m a Registered Behavior Technician. I joined the ABA field in June of 2025 with a passion for helping kids learn, grow, and express themselves with confidence. I hold two Bachelor’s degrees—one in Psychology and one in Criminal Justice—and I’m excited to bring that background into the world of behavioral therapy. I believe in the power of small steps and positive reinforcement to make a big impact. Outside of work, I love building Lego sets (it’s my favorite way to unwind), and I have a one-year-old puppy named Trinity who keeps life fun and full of energy!

Hello! I’m Rieley, and I’m a Registered Behavior Technician. I joined the amazing world of ABA Therapy in the fall of 2025. I have always had a love for kids and have years of experience in the childcare industry as a nanny. That love and passion for helping kids grow and learn how to advocate for themselves, along with my own autism diagnosis made going into the ABA field an easy choice. Every day I learn and fall more in love with the excitement that comes when our kids make progress. Through play, positive reinforcement, and small steps, I see the difference it makes everyday I work. In my free time I love to read, listen to music, and draw. I have two silly cats at home that fill my life with joy and love.

Hello, my name is Carly Stimson. I began my journey in ABA as an RBT in October 2024, after previously working in a daycare setting. I’ve always known that I wanted to work in childcare, and I truly enjoy being part of this field. It’s incredibly rewarding to watch children grow each day and see their progress over time, and I feel lucky to be part of that process. I am passionate about creating a positive and supportive environment where children can learn and thrive. In my free time, I enjoy taking walks on the beach, relaxing, and spending quality time with my family.

Hi my name is Jenna Leath. In the spring of 2026, I began my journey as a behavioral technician, driven by a desire to make a positive difference in children and families lives. This role has allowed me to combine my natural connection with children and my passion for helping others grow, learn, and succeed. Working with children has always been a genuine source of joy for me. Their curiosity, honesty, and unique personalities make every interaction meaningful. Each day, I am motivated by the progress I see, no matter how small, and the trust I build with the children and families I support. Being part of their development is both a privilege and a purpose I continue to embrace with dedication.

I’m passionate about helping children build confidence, communication, and everyday life skills in a positive, meaningful way.
