As a instructor this should not be a problem. With the amount of xc time that you already have, I would go ahead and begin training and when you are in the approach phase(final part) of your instrument training than if you need more xc time do it with a safety pilot and become more fluent with approaches.
If you haven't already began studying for your instrument, now is the time to begin.
You shouldn't begin instrument training unless you have a firm grasp of the written exam. You will save yourself alot of money if your written is already completed before you start flying.
