Empfinden is normally used with inner feelings like joy: "Ich empfinde Freude" even though you would usually say "Ich bin froh". It is also used when you have feelings for someone " Ich empfinde etwas für dich".
Fühlen is more used with outer feelings, like "Ich fühle deine Hand auf meiner Schulter". Another word you could use for this is "spüren". You can use "fühlen" also in sentences like "Ich fühle mich gut/schlecht".
