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.

I hold a Masters in Special Education with an emphasis on Behavioral Analysis. I am married and have 2 children. I enjoy ABA therapy because I have seen the results in the lives of the clients that I have been able to serve. I enjoy going fishing with my sons and eating whatever baked goods my wife is making.

Hello! I’m Amanda Tokiwa, the office manager at Successful Child ABA Therapy. I’ve been with the company since January of 2024. I oversee the referral process, and day-to-day operations within the company. I love being able to see firsthand the progress the children in our center make as they work towards their personal goals. My family has been blessed to travel around the U.S. with my husband throughout his military career. We’ve lived in beautiful states like New York and Hawaii.

Nature walks in the winter months, 5k’s and shark tooth hunting are a few of my go to weekend family favorites.

Working with adults and children with diverse needs, nurturing talents and empowering their success, is what sparked a passion towards starting a career in Applied Behavior Analysis.
