Acoustic buzzing D

I have a Godin Seagull Mini Jumbo that plays well with the exception of a buzzing D string. I'm not a tech but I have used paper between the string and the nut to get by for now. Can anyone tell me how to fix the buzz? I'm still a beginner, should I have a luthier set it up for me?... and how much should I pay if I do?... The guitar is new, but I can't take it back to the shop I bought it from because I bought it on a road trip to the east coast(1200mi.).

Sounds like the nut slot for the D string may have been cut too deep. Getting a new nut put on is not very expensive.
