Our Counselors

Izzy Valenciano is a Pastoral Counselor at Breath of Life, dedicated to helping individuals heal, grow, and embrace their God-given identity. She believes that true transformation begins with understanding the past, making sense of relationships, and developing the tools needed to move forward with a whole and restored heart.

Passionate about guiding others toward their purpose, Izzy helps individuals break free from limiting beliefs and walk confidently in who they were created to be. In today’s world, where identity is often misunderstood, she is committed to helping others become deeply rooted in their identity in Christ. She takes a holistic approach to well-being, emphasizing the connection between emotional, spiritual, and physical health, and encourages individuals to cultivate wellness in every area of life.

Izzy is currently pursuing a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in Community Care and Counseling with a specialty in Marriage and Family at Liberty University.
