Unix command to count the number of files with specific characters in name

Hey all,
I'm looking for a command that will search a directory (and all subdirectories) and give me a file count for the number of files that contain specific characters within its filename. e.g. I want to find the number of files that contain "-a.jpg" in their name.

All the searching I've done on forums have only been for code counting the total number of files in a directory. I need to count only certain files within that directory.

Thanks!
SM
